Zoo Scientists to the Rescue

This nonfiction book looks inside three U.S. zoos, where scientists apply their knowledge of threatened species to animal care. It examines work involving orangutans, black-footed ferrets, and black rhinoceroses, including animals living in the wild and in captivity. The book also shows zoos as places where scientific work accompanies animal care and visitor experiences. Photographs appear throughout, and the book includes back matter.
