  1. Zoo

    A zoo is a facility in which animals are confined within enclosures, displayed to the public, and in which they may also be bred. The term zoological garden refers to zoology, the study of animals, a term deriving from the Greek zōon and lógos. The abbreviation "zoo" was first used of the London Zoological Gardens, which opened for scientific study in 1828 and to the public in 1847. The number of major animal collections open to the public around the world now exceeds 1,000, around 80 percent of them in cities. However, keeping animals in zoos raises concerns for animal rights. Zoos typically house more wild animals than domesticated ones.

Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
