In this sentence, "the zookeeper was bitten by the lion," the zookeeper is the recipient of the action (being bitten), making it a passive construction. Passive voice is formed by using a form of "to be" (in this case, "was") along with the past participle of the main verb (bitten). This construction emphasizes the action done to the zookeeper rather than the zookeeper performing the action.
