History
The practice of Menageries dates back over a hundred years, during the reigns of the Ottoman Empire (1844 AD to 1923 AD), the Aztec Empire (1428 AD to 1521 AD) , the rule of the French king, Louis XIV (May 14th, 1643 AD to 1715 AD) , and the rule of Kublai Kahn (1271 AD to 1294 AD).

The history spans from 1271 AD to the present, about 742 years.

There are many in history, and one of the first Menageries to ever exist was owned by Kublai Kahn, the ancestor of the present owners of the Wyoming Menagerie, the Kahn family.

However, in the 1600s, the Royal Society of Species Preservation formed, and forced all Menageries to stay secret from the public in order to ensure safety of the mythical creatures. Menageries are still present today, but are under watch by SNAPA (SuperNatural Animal Protection Agency) and their sister agency, SNAMHP (SuperNatural Agency for Mostly Human Protection).

Trivia

 * Despite menageries, another word for a zoo, being called what they are, menageries do not operate like zoos do. Instead, they act more like sanctuaries for mythical creatures that is not open to the public.
 * However, the name may have stuck due to the origins of Menageries, which were once available to the public, like a regular zoo.
