Zoos have always been family attractions. They are the places where kids and adults view the enclosed animals, gain awareness about them and enjoy a memorable experience. Recent unfortunate events, however, where zoo managements have been liable for accidents, have placed an emphasis on insurance requirements.
A zoo can encompass a huge swath of land with cages that house many different tropical, exotic and interesting animals or be small, focusing on one or a few types of wildlife. Likewise, a zoo can either be accessible to the broad public or be open exclusively for those involved in related research. A zoo can be maintained by government or special societies, either for or not-for-profit.
The common denominator between all zoos is that it is a place where animals are kept and cared for by trained personnel in a regulated setting.
