D. ANIMAL HISTORY SHEET
It is very important to maintain individual animal history sheet in a zoo. The
history sheet is maintained and updated by the zoo biologist/ record keeper. For each
animal in the zoo individual history sheet should be maintained. For each species
there should be a different file. For e.g. a file for Indian tiger should contain Animal
History cards of all the Indian tigers in the zoo collection. Each history card should be
followed by at least 30 pages of the observation sheet printed on both sides for
recording the daily observation from the daily report.
