Zoos have two basic characteristics: one is to raise and manage wild animals (poultry, domestic animals, 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.

Extended data

Because raising wild animals, especially exotic species and rare and endangered animals, is a complex subject, it has become an important task for zoos to study animal feeding management, disease prevention and reproduction methods.

Koala, platypus, pangolin, proboscis monkey, pronghorn, hummingbird, leatherback turtle and shark broke the original breeding record, while cheetah, gorilla, giant panda, golden monkey, pronghorn, Asian elephant, Chinese alligator, red-crowned crane, black-necked crane and king cobra broke the breeding record.

Since 1970s, people have paid more and more attention to nature protection and ecological balance, and zoos have played an important role in publicizing and protecting endangered animals. Many zoos not only try their best to make animals that are difficult to raise grow healthily, but also make use of local natural conditions to build large-scale natural animal breeding bases, and often return the offspring of endangered animals to their natural environment in order to partially restore the destroyed ecological balance.
