Kukulkan's zoo was a collection of creatures kept aboard Kukulkan's starship by Kukulkan. Kukulkan's machinery created a virtual world for each creature so they could live peacefully in their native environment. (TAS: "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth")

Although some of the creatures look like plants, the idea of creating a virtual habitat for a life form that doesn't have any cognitive capabilities seems absurd. Also, several of the creatures were in different cages in different shots, this is either an animation error or perhaps there were multiple specimens for each species.

In the audio commentary for "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth", David Wise mentions that the zoo was to be filled with various animals that had been seen in earlier TOS episodes, incuding the Horta and a couple tribbles.
