Is it correct to say: "In a zoo I saw tigers and lions walking on concrete"?If "concrete" is not possible in this sentence, what word should I use?Thank you

Hotmale, why would it not be possible? Isn't concrete a surface? Don't we all walk on concrete?

Since I don't know if you have ever been to a zoo or not, I won't assume that you know if there are concrete surfaces there or not.

Yes, there are many concrete surfaces at different zoos, thus the word concrete is absolutely correct.

In a zoo is correct, but usually if we have been to specific zoos, we say at the zoo. We would normally use in a zoo to generalize what one may find at any zoo.

In a zoo we would find tigers and lions walking on concrete.

At the zoo I saw tigers and lions walking on concrete.

I just thought that it's too simple. It is how I would say it in my language, but in most cases when I try to translate an expression word for word it turns out to be incorrect

Thank you for your reply
