I noticed quite a while ago that on google maps, there is a small summary under the name of each zoo when you click on it. And today I decided to have a look at a random selection of zoos and see how they are summarised on google maps. Just to take a random sample: London Zoo: Gorillas, giraffes, penguins & tigers Chester Zoo: Large zoopark with colourful gardens Berlin Zoo: Huge leafy zoo with modern aviary Tierpark Berlin: Zoo with elephants, tigers & monkeys Bronx Zoo: Large urban zoo Toronto Zoo: Sprawling home of thousands of animals Warsaw Zoo: Elephants, wolves, lions & hippos Taronga Zoo: Large zoo divided into different regions Antwerp Zoo: Animal park established in 1843 etc, etc. I could go on all day. So I was wondering if anyone knew what the summaries were based on, who makes them etc. It seems almost random to me.
And if you look to the left side there's a slightly longer discreption London-Major city zoo and research centre helping to conserve numerous species in naturalistic habitats. - Google Chester-Zoo featuring rare and endangered species in lush, ornate gardens, with a water bus and a monorail. - Google Bronx-Metropolitan zoo with 265 acres that harbors 4,000 animals in replicas of their native habitats. - Google San diego safari park-Visitor tours of a 1,800-acre wildlife sanctuary with over 300 species of African & Asian animals. - Google etc... If you haven't noticed there's a bit of a common theme on who's giving the description.
