History of the Zoo at Barcas
Once Barcas had established its reputation for power and wealth, the nobility -- in a rather out-of-character and generous move -- decided to offer up something for all citizens to enjoy. The Zoo at Barcas was opened as a way to show off the island's wealth and extravagance, while tossing crumbs to the city's poor by charging no admission. The plan worked. Crowds flocked to the zoo -- especially to see its showpiece draj, Annabelle. The city makes a fortune on the concession-stand prices and the citizens of Barcas hail its leaders for their goodwill.
The zoo's inhabitants range from small, lovable critters to rather large beasts into whose cages you dare not stick your hand. That said, the Zoo at Barcas is a rather lovely place to spend a day eating snacks with the kiddies.
