INTRODUCTION
zoos in the next fifty or one hundred years be as

different from those today as todays zoos as some zoos will evolve
so far as to no longer be considered zoos at all. Early examples of

unzoos

these transcended
exist around us today, largely
unregarded by the zoo profession. Much heralded personal virtual
zoos and Jurassic Park-like theme parks for
be popular.

NeoGen

will also

The term biophilia to refer to a humans innate need

to be with the living world and basic need to experience nature
firsthand.The humans are becoming more removed from nature
and suffer from nature deficit disorder. The good news is that there
are indications that children are in touch with plants and animals in
their everyday lives.

Zoos offer people opportunities to interact with

organisms and develop personal, authentic experiences as
opposed to virtual representation and interfaces. Zoo plays an
important role in linking humans with wildlife.
An essential component of the zoo visit is the verbal
interactions that occur among the visitors. Therefore, identifying
the language used during a zoo visit and how and where the
linguistic interactions occur are an important part of understanding
the knowledge by the visitor.

WHAT IS ZOO?
The line that divides circus from zoo has been murky .
From the proto-zoo days when royalty invited the public to enjoy
their menageries , a tension has existed between education and
entertainment.unlike circuses, zoos, have seen of science,
academia,and high culture. Captive animals provide a natural
history lesson, and early zoos included even more diverse
collections, which they displayed in taxonomic groupings.
zoos steadily moved away from their circus trappings in the
later half of the twentieth century. Many smaller zoos and roadside
attractions and menageries surely wont survive. The larger zoos
will face difficult trade offs between the zoos as a theme park and
the zoo as an education/research centre.
