Petting zoo
A petting zoo (often called, or part of, a "''children's zoo''") features a combination of domesticated animals and some wild species that are docile enough to touch and feed. In addition to independent petting zoos, also called children's farms or petting farms, many general zoos contain a petting zoo. Some petting zoos can be found in city parks, and some petting zoos are also mobile and will travel to a home for a children's party or event. Many areas have a qualified mobile petting zoo.
Most petting zoos are designed to provide only relatively placid, herbivorous domesticated animals, such as sheep, goats, rabbits, or ponies, to feed and interact physically with safely. This is in contrast to the usual zoo experience, where normally wild animals are viewed from behind safe enclosures where no contact is possible. A few provide wild species (such as pythons or big cat cubs) to interact with, but these are rare and usually found outside Western nations.
Touching animals can result in the transmission of diseases between animals and humans (zoonoses) so it is recommended that people should thoroughly wash their hands before and after touching the animals.〔(Zoonoses associated with petting farms and open zoos )〕〔(Beware The Fair (And Petting Zoos) )〕 There have been several outbreaks of ''E. coli'' etc.〔(Tests suggest E. coli spread through air )〕
==History==
In 1938, the London Zoo included the first ''children's zoo'' in Europe and the Philadelphia Zoo was the first in North America to open a special zoo just for children.
