Story Synopsis
The show starts with series of killings by the pride of lions, male lions. Male lions don’t form pride. There are at the maximum two males in pride, but animals have turned mutant. They behave differently than their natural behavior.
Every episode comes with a different species attacking humans. In one of the episodes, rats plan an attack, and in another, the dogs set an ambush.
These were not the only two or three cases where animals plan a strategy and attack humans. The basis of the series Zoo was on the fact that animals evolve, and they decide to eliminate the human race from the face of the earth.
As they evolve, they started to have inter-species communication over long distances. Zoo is also about evolution versus technology.
