How to make a zoo in Dwarf Fortress

dwarf-fortress

I have a whole lot of animals (10-15) sitting in a room waiting for a dungeon master on Dwarf Fortress, and I'd like to do something with them, like make a zoo. On this page it says,

Zoo areas may be defined from a built
cage via the q menu for the enjoyment
of your dwarves. Be aware that dwarves
will receive happy or unhappy thoughts
from seeing an animal in a zoo based
on their preferences. Owning the cage
containing a loved animal is even
better.

I'm looking at my cages and I don't see this…are zoo removed/changed in the newest version? On it's talk page it said they just copied the page over from the older version.

No, zoos are still existent. You have to make sure that your cage is built and define a room from them, just like you would with a bedroom or a dining room.
