Education in zoos and aquaria



Educational animals

Living animals clearly have an enormous power of attraction. The impression made on the visitor through the close physical proximity of living animals cannot be replaced by photos, films, videos or books. The attraction is clearly present when it concerns an educational animal.

 "An educational animal is an animal which attracts attention
 thanks to its thrilling features, interesting behaviour or at
 least the important nature conservation story it represents,
 and is thus capable of inspiring and changing the attitude of
 the visitors."
