About This Item
From back cover: "The Kansas City Zoo has had some colorful residents in the last century: Sally the cigarette-smoking chimp, Case the bull elephant, a furry escape artist named Nemo and lots of cute babies. You'll meet them and many others on this wild ride through 100 years of zookeeping history."
From Foreword: "When the Kansas City Zoo opened in 1909, exotic animals were oddities and a source of fascination because most people had never seen or heard of them. Through the years the novelty has worn off, but the curiosity remains."
