Boston Aquarial and Zoological Gardens
The Boston Aquarial and Zoological Gardens (October 1860 – June 1862) in Boston, Massachusetts, featured a public aquarium and zoo. It was located in the Financial District on Central Court (off Washington Street).〔Boston Directory. 1861, 1862〕 On display were "hundreds of specimens of the finny tribe there to be seen sporting in their native element, in all their variety of hue and shape"〔Boston Aquarial Gardens. ''The Barre Gazette'' (Barre, Massachusetts); Date: 06-21-1861〕 as well as other animals. James Ambrose Cutting and Henry D. Butler ran the business, derived from an earlier incarnation known as the Boston Aquarial Gardens.
==History==
"The gardens were officially opened to the public on October 5th, 1860. The zoological department had added a moose, a leopard, an African python, and several seals. The prices remained fixed at 25 cents for adults and ten cents for children. In February 1861, a newly discovered species of sea anemone, Trochartea pendula, was presented. ... By that time, the Aquarial department had grown to include a collection of eels, trout, haddock, shrimp and dogfish. ... Downstairs in the zoological department, an alligator shared a cage with a snapping turtle, a box turtle, and an African ibis. There was also a pair of lions, a leopard, a grizzly bear, black bears, assorted monkeys and parrots, an albino flying squirrel, deer, owls, and foxes. The 'den of serpents' included an anaconda, pythons, a pine snake and a black snake."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.neaq.org/about_us/mission_and_vision/aquarium_history/boston_aquarial_and_zoological.php )〕 In 1861, "the Zoological Department () under the charge of Uriah Sears who ... trained the bears, the kangaroos, the moose and the baboon to perform wonderful feats in the ring."〔''Boston Evening Transcript'', Jan.10, 1861〕
