Zoos are where you can see wild animals in captivity.
UnderstandZoos are artificially created enclosures where a traveller can see captive wildlife.
PhilosophyLike with museums and other things, there are multiple ways to approach a zoo visit. It comes down to quality vs quantity.
Destinations
Stay safeEven though the animals are captive, that doesn't make them tame or domesticated, and a degree of caution is still advised.
RespectDo not harass the wildlife. The mighty king of the jungle has been taken captive for your amusement, but that's no excuse to torment the poor beast. Be sensitive if you're going to take a selfie with the animal.
