A brief introduction to the zoo:
Zoo is a place for collecting and raising all kinds of animals, conducting scientific research and ex-situ conservation for public viewing, popularization of science, publicity and protection education.
Second, the zoo has two basic characteristics:
One is to raise and manage wild animals (poultry, livestock, pets and other non-domestic animals), and the other is to be open to the public. The place that meets these two basic characteristics is a zoo in a broad sense, including aquariums and specialized zoos. In a narrow sense, zoos refer to urban zoos and wild zoos. The basic function of the zoo is the comprehensive protection of wild animals and the protection education of the public.
