Answer 1

You need to check your local county to see what are the laws governing this in your area. I would never recommend this because I work in a zoo and there is a lot to it that you may never have thought about. While you say you have a very huge backyard each animal requires a certain amount of area to themselves. I have an extra 2 acres and would never attempt that because that is not enough area. Try going to your local zoo and volunteering to see what is required to run a zoo. You will need an education equal to that of a zoo keeper. You need to find out how much it will cost to feed the animals, vet care, etc. We have a very small zoo in our town and it cost 1.5 mill to run it each year. It costs over 100,000 just to feed the animals. Ticket sales will never equal the cost it takes to run the zoo. Very few large zoos in the country take in enough at the gate to run their zoos. Most zoos rely on grants and tax monies to stay afloat.

Have you thought of doing animals rescue instead? This can be very rewarding and is very much needed.

Good Luck

Careful, making and managing a zoo takes alot of money and time. And I mean ALOT of money. Theres the building, buying animals, right enviroment, feeding animals, you may need to get a zookeepers degree or hire one. Then the maintenence... oof. O_o
And you need to ask local police if it is ok, and make sure you have plenty of room per animal, or they will be miserable. And you may need a sponcer. Oh, and a security guard if you have potentialy dangerouse animals, incase if they escape.

Best go to some zoo and spend some time around,and ask the caretaker and then administration I think you can find your answer, and don't forget to ask your local authorities.
