with apologies to Edward Albee

This application was built in fulfillment of a code test, spec as follows:

Please create a Rails application for keeping a catalog of zoos. The app should have the following features:

• Every zoo has a name and a list of animals.
• Every animal has a name and a species and belongs to a single zoo.
• A user can perform standard CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete) for zoos and animals.
• For each zoo, the user can see a list of its animals.
• The user can see a list of all zoos with the number of unique species present in each zoo. (For example: If the Clackamas County Zoo has a monkey named Alice, a monkey named Bob, and an elephant named Zeus, then its number of species is 2.)
• It should use a SQL data store (compatible with PostgreSQL) and run Rails version 3.2 or above.

Note the lack of authentication, authorization, or secrets setup - these was not called for in the spec. They would likely be implemented with the Devise, Cancancan or Pundit, and Figaro gems respectively. Todo: integration testing?
