Zoology
German term or phrase: Freigehege
Aus einer Beschreibung für einen geplanten (und anscheinend sehr eigenwilligen) Film:

Ein modernes *Freigehege*, Tiere verschiedener Größen, Gattungen & Lebensalter & ab & zu wirft jemand Essen hinein. Jetzt stellen Sie sich vor, es handelt sich nicht um ein Freigehege, sondern um eine Stadt wie [...]

Suche also den Begriff, der in Zoos/Safaripark verwendet wird. Meine bisherigen Lösungen überzeugen mich nicht. Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!
