A zoological garden, zoological park, or zoo is an institution where mainly wild and exotic animals are restricted within enclosures, bred and displayed to the public. The term zoological garden refers to the biological discipline zoology, which derives from Greek Ζωο("animal"), and λογος ("study"). The term was first used in 1828 for the London Zoological Gardens, soon shortened to the abbreviation “zoo”.
