animal enclosure
Zoo habitat structure
An animal enclosure is a space designed to contain animals, preventing their escape while often allowing observation.
Zoos use enclosures ranging from cages to naturalistic habitats.
Farms have enclosures like pens, corrals, and paddocks.
The term emphasizes the boundary—fence, wall, glass, or netting—that separates animals from the outside: The new elephant enclosure gives them room to roam.
