A zoological garden, commonly known as a zoo, is a facility where animals are housed and displayed for public viewing. These gardens aim to educate visitors about wildlife and conservation while providing a safe environment for animals. Zoos often feature a variety of species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, and may also include aquariums and botanical gardens. In addition to entertainment and education, zoological gardens play a crucial role in conservation efforts. Many zoos participate in breeding programs for endangered species, helping to preserve genetic diversity. They also engage in research and community outreach to promote awareness about wildlife protection and habitat preservation.
