ZOO HISTORY: In 1876, the Zoo was founded by the state for the “recreation and education of the people”. The original collection consisted of a herd of 52 deer and a flock of purebred Southdown sheep. Three years later, four camels and two sea lions were donated to the Zoo. #ThrowbackThursday #tbt #zoo #marylandzoo #baltimorezoo #history #baltimorehistory #baltimore #charmcity #bmore #deer #throwback #marylandhistory
