This study examines the limited literature on zoomobile programs and suggests that remarkable uniformity exists between such variables as types and lengths of programs offered, animals used, staffing, area served, and funding. It notes a common set of problems, from practical ones such as animal stress and liability insurance, through philosophical ones such as training of animals, the balance between entertainment and education, and the educational purposes of zoomobiles. These issues are addressed in the context of zoomobile programs dealing with taxonomy, ethology, pet care, career education, and animals as part of human culture. (Author/TW)
