En savoir plus sur le livre

The Zoo is a unique, fascinating, and often amusing history of London Zoo, illustrated with over 70 images. London Zoo had its beginnings in 1826 when Sir Stamford Raffles founded the Zoological Society of London. It was to have a number of "celebrity" animals over the years, including a hippopotamus called Obaysch, much visited by Queen Victoria; Winnie, an exceptionally tame bear who gave A.A. Milne the inspiration for Winnie-the-Pooh's name; and Chi-Chi, the Giant panda, who refused to breed but instead made advances to the eminent zoologist, Desmond Morris.
