Zoos

Zoos are facilities where animals are housed in enclosures for public display, education, and conservation. They often feature a variety of species from different habitats around the world, allowing visitors to observe and learn about wildlife. Zoos aim to promote understanding of animal behavior, ecology, and the importance of biodiversity. Many modern zoos also engage in breeding programs for endangered species and conduct research to aid in conservation efforts. The design of zoos has evolved to prioritize the welfare of animals, often incorporating larger, more naturalistic habitats that mimic their wild environments. Zoos can serve as recreational spaces for families, educational resources for schools, and participants in global conservation initiatives.
