Well, without more context, it's hard to say precisely. It could potentially be a story that uses the zoo as a metaphor for something else. For example, the animals in the zoo could represent different types of people in society, and their behaviors and interactions in the zoo could mirror human social dynamics.
The Shanghai zoo was the second largest zoo in China and was also a national 4A tourist attraction.
