Many animals in enclosures of a reversed ooze sound (4)
I believe the answer is:
zoos
This might be a double definition.
'many animals' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'enclosures of a reversed ooze sound' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for zoos that I've seen before include "Animal displays" , "Exhibition spaces for wild animals" , "Menageries" , "Exhibitions" , "Whipsnade and Regent's Park" .)
