A virtual zoo is a new concept that uses the zoo model in a web format.Virtual zoos are basically

 websites that are created to simulate a visit to a zoo, and the visitors to these sites can view exhibits

about animals and their habaits.Many Zoos as well as schools  have developed

virtual zoos. For example, instead of actual animals a virtual zoo will have articles and photos

as exhibits. There are many virtual zoos that have been created; most are small and unremarkable,

while some have hundreds of exhibits.

  

 

 

The first virtual zoo was created in 1994 by Ken Boschert, DVM.

 

 

 

Boschert created his site as a way of informing people about animals and how to care for them. His site has been

recognized by Education World and "Web 100".

 

 

Purpose:

 

The validity of virtual zoos have met with some resistance. However, many view virtual zoos as

the way of the future for conservation. Zoos have faced ethical issues surrounding the capture and

keeping of wild animals. Virtual zoos can provide information and experience without any disturbance

to habits or ecosystems. According to Zoos Victoria, the stated purpose of a zoo is to be centers for

 wildlife experience, education, conservation and research. Virtual Zoos can contribute to these stated

 purposes, such as education and research, with little impact to animal life.

 

 

Right angle + a little acting = Cool 3D Animal in action :)

 

Virtual Zoo is a collage of larger-than-life 3D photos of all the familiar animals in the

 animal world and then mounted on the blank walls of the cinema lobby.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aimed a throng of fun and exciting activities aimed at catching the hearts and minds of

kids and even the kids-at-heart.

 With these exciting animals in various poses, the entire cinema lobby was beautifully transformed to become

 a virtual theme park that would provide joy and thrills to every visitor, what with every almost life-like image

of animals, from crocodiles to giant spiders, tigers, turtles, sharks, bats, elephants and lions, greeting you at

every corner of the virtual zoo.
