Abstract
The zoo can be used to good advantage by instructors of animal behavior and comparative psychology. This article has considered ways of establishing working relationships with zoos and ideas for the first few class visits to them. Without question, the instructor will not be handicapped by lack of instructional and research ideas for his students once he has surveyed the tremendous resources defined by a zoo collection.Keywords
