    Hi,

    I'm looking for a website or resource that will provide information on how animals are cared for in zoos - like care sheets etc. I'm sure there must be something like this but I can't find anything, so I'm wondering if you could help me out? It would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Falanouc

    Well ppl like TFH/Microcosm and Hancock House are well known for printing texts on relatively smaller exotics, and sometimes larger ones like the one Scott Michaels wrote about sharks. Often the authors work in professional settings such as public aquaria.

    Sites like bookfi don't have enough specialist lit on subjects such as aquaria or aviculture: we need more there and anyone with the texts ought to contribute. (I had to sell all mine to afford healthcare.) If you look on such sites though, you will find Wild Mammals in Captivity is there.
