The fractured island greened and hummed again; handsome zebras tossed their heads in zoos, on hired safari plains.

Females have only one or very few babies in its entire live when in zoos.

All of them were in zoos until four were moved from a zoo in Czech Republic to a conservancy in Africa.

For example, Zoos used to be quite different from how they are run today.
