Explanation
A zoo is a place where animals are kept for people to see and learn about. Animals live in safe spaces that look like their natural homes; for example, we saw lions and elephants at the zoo. Zoos help people learn about wild animals and how to protect them, but good zoos also care for the animalsâ health and comfort. People visit zoos for fun, education, and research.
