animal exhibits

Creatures on view

Animal exhibits are displays of live animals for public viewing, typically in zoos, aquariums, or wildlife parks.

The term encompasses both the physical enclosures and the animals within them: The new animal exhibits at the zoo feature naturalistic habitats.

Exhibits range from traditional caged displays to elaborate recreations of natural environments designed for animal welfare and visitor education.
