Montreal’s Biodôme can be used as a model for the new type of zoos that emerged in the 1980s. They reflect the changing relationships between Western urbanized societies and Nature. Relationships between Men and Animals and the definition of nature are questioned through the analysis of the Biodôme: first, the opposition between Nature and Culture appears to be less and less relevant; then, the city dwellers appear to be only seeking for direct confrontation with an exotic and wild nature, without any of the hazards or tiredness that supposes a real travel. It is a sweetened Nature that is showed and its "otherness” is locked into a specific place in the city, so that Mankind and Nature remain as two opposite concepts
