Summary
Zoos have been keeping records on their animals for hundreds of years. The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) has information going back to 1828 (ZSL, 2018), and they issued their first records cards for individual animals in 1902. Many other long-established zoos also have these archives. These historic records can provide insights into the captive biology of a wide range of species that are now rarely or no longer kept in captivity.
