The late 80s and early 90s saw an effort to try and recreate habitats along with figure out best population for each area. It marked a huge transition from how captive animals had been treated previously - but still a little haunting to realize the loss that it caused the animal (and often their native habitat) to let them be enjoyed by us in recreational parks.tammiemghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191098623116760646noreply@blogger.com
