Animals Living in zoos and Circuses       When going to your city zoo as a family vacation or just a regular outing day  it  filled with excitement and curiosity, seeing all the different types of animals and animal breeds from mammals to reptiles or when going to the town circus that comes around every blue moon there's  always  a joy in the air. To see all the new tricks and performances and the most popular being the animal acts makes the crowds go wild.
