assistant
A zoo is an enclosure that contains animals, usually in groups. A wildlife reserve is an area of land set aside for the preservation of wild animal species and their natural habitat. Zoos are typically open to the public and may contain a variety of animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. Wildlife reserves are usually closed to visitors and focus on preserving the environment and protecting endangered species.
