Studies in Zoology: A Book Devoted to Animals and Animal Life at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Studies in Zoology: A Book Devoted to Animals and Animal Life at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden

Of course, in a book like this, it is not possible to be minutely descriptive, and so the author has aimed to tell as simply as possible what the attractions of the Gardens are and where they may be found, and gives a description, on a scientific basis, of the character and habits of many animals, birds and reptiles, with the hope that some thing may be found within the covers of the volume that will inspire more than one visitor to take up the careful study of Zoology - a branch of science one of the most useful because its study trains to habits of close observation and brings us near to nature's heart.
