KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Rasmussen was born in London but at eleven years old, his parents moved him to what was then Rhodesia (Modern day Zimbabwe) where he developed a strong affinity for wildlife to the point of spending all his spare time in the laboratories of the Natural History Museum.

Detailed explanation-2: -By the end of the decade, his personal net worth exceeded $200 million.

Detailed explanation-3: -Having animals in protection provides a reservoir against a population crash in the wild. Zoos have helped remove animals from the endangered species list and have saved many from extinction. Without the efforts of zoos, there would be fewer animal species alive today!

Detailed explanation-4: -Considering the questionable management practices and the poor or absent conservation and educational benefits, even in zoos considered to provide the best conditions, confining a wild animal to a lifetime of captivity in a zoo is, in our view, clearly unethical.
