How to Run A Zoo A-Z

By: Tess Lutz

A is for Animal

If you don’t have any animals then how will you ever run a zoo?

But animals aren’t just the most important thing in a zoo.

B is for Bananas

You will definitely need bananas to feed the monkeys.

If you are hungry then you can probably have one too.

C is for Commercials

Commercials are one of the better ways to get business.

Most people watch more than 30 minutes of T.V. every day.

D is for Drinks

When people go to the zoo they usually get thirsty.

They will appreciate it if you provide drinks.

E is for Entertainment

You will need entertainment if you don’t want everyone to be bored.

You could maybe have animal shows.

F is for Food

When people go to the zoo they will also get hungry. You should have snacks.

They will be happy once you sell food.

G is for Gift Shops

You will need to have some way to make money, so why don’t you open a gift shop?

All the younger kids will be like, “Mommy, mommy can I get a teddy bear?” In the end they will win.

H is for Hundreds of Visitors

I hope that you will have hundreds of visitors to keep your place up and running.

The way you will get hundreds of visitors is if you make your zoo fun.

I is for Igloo

When the penguins get hot they will need a place to go, so why don’t you have an igloo?

If the penguins get sick of people watching them, they can just hide out in them.

J is for Jungle

If you want you can have a fake jungle.

The jungle would be for birds and maybe other animals.

K is for keep everything under control

You will need to keep everything under control. People will feel safer.

If everything is out of control, how will you ever run a zoo?

L is for let everyone who wants to come in

You should always let anyone who wants to come in.

People will feel more welcome this way.

M is for Merchandise

Always price things over price.

If you do this then people will buy things and you will get more money.

N is for never let animals get out

You should always lock the cages. You don’t want to have animals roaming around.

People will feel unsafe.

O is for Opening Day

You will need to have a wonderful opening day.

If it is a success then people will want to come back.

P is for Prices

You will want to have high prices.

People will buy things with high prices and you will win.

Q is for questions

You want to make sure all your visitors have lots of questions that you can answer.

You could even make something confusing.

R is for Rest

If you are about to open a zoo then you must get tired.

You will need to go home and get some rest once in a while.

S is for Security guards

You will need security guards if you don’t want anyone to break in.

Also you would need to have them because then the animals will be safe too.

T is for Tickets

You will want to have tickets so visitors will have to pay to come in.

You will get a lot more money that way.

But make sure your zoo is high quality.

U is for Up and Running

You will soon get your zoo up and running.

It will be a success if you follow all these things.

V is for vet

You will have to have a vet just in case an animal gets sick or hurt.

But the bad thing is you don’t get as much money.

W is for Water

If you are going to have seals, you will need water.

Seals love to play in water.

You might want to drink some water too.

X is for x-rays

You will want to be prepared if an animal breaks a bone.

You will want to have x-rays to see how you can fix it.

Y is for your pretty much done

If you get this far, you are pretty much done.

Don’t give up! You can do it.

Z is for Zoo Keepers

You will finally have to have zoo keepers to open a zoo.

They will need to feed the animals.

NOW GO OPEN YA ZOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
