Zoos and aquariums are facilities that house a variety of animals and aquatic life for public viewing and education. Zoos typically feature land animals, such as lions, elephants, and giraffes, while aquariums focus on marine species like fish, sharks, and sea turtles. Both institutions aim to promote conservation and awareness about wildlife and their habitats. In addition to showcasing animals, zoos and aquariums often engage in research and breeding programs to help protect endangered species. They provide educational programs for visitors, helping people learn about the importance of biodiversity and the need to preserve natural ecosystems.
