"Zoos" is the plural form of "zoo," used when referring to more than one zoo. "Zoo's" is the possessive form of "zoo," indicating ownership or association with a singular zoo (e.g., the zoo's entrance). "Zoos'" is the plural possessive form, indicating ownership or association with multiple zoos (e.g., the zoos' conservation efforts).

Zoos is the plural form of zoo. It is used when you are talking about more than one zoo.

We have three zoos in our city.

All the zoos have elephants that love people.


Zoo's is the singular possessive form of zoo. This form is used when you are talking about something a zoo owns or possesses.


The zoo's head keeper has resigned.

All the zoo's elephants love people


Zoos' is the plural possessive form of zoo. This is used when you are talking about something that multiple zoos own or possess.


The zoos' were closed for the Thanksgiving weekend.

All the zoos' elephants love people.



What is the difference between each of the second examples? The first one zoos tells that every zoo has elephants that love people. The second one using zoo's says that one zoo has elephants that love people. The third using zoos' states that every zoo has elephants that love people. The first and the third are phrased differently but mean the exact same thing.
