It does not compile...

Could you please tell me why?

Thank you

# include <iostream>
using namespace std;


class Animal
{
	int age;

	public:
		Animal() : age(10){};


		int AgeGet()
		{
			return age;

		}

};

template <class T>
class Zoo

{
	private:
		T * pObj; 
		int length;

	public:
		T & operator[] (int index)
		{
			return pObj[index];
		}

		Zoo() : length(12)
		{
			pObj = new T[12];  //container for Animals

			
			for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++)
			{
				pObj[i] = 0; //pointer initialization, it does not point at any object
				//xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx compiler crashes here xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

			}
		}


};

int main()
{
	Zoo<Animal> zoo; //it creates 12 spaces for objects

	Animal * animal = new Animal;


	cout << animal -> AgeGet();

	zoo[0] = *animal;


	delete animal;

	cout << zoo[0].AgeGet();





	return 0;

}
