The threats facing each endangered species are different. Additionally, some species are relatively easy to care for in captivity and reproduce frequently while others rarely survive and/or don't reproduce in captivity. Captive tigers, for example, already outnumber wild tigers, and this means they are unlikely to go completely extinct, even if none are left in the wild (which would be terrible). However, there are tens of thousands of endangered species, and humans can't possibly maintain viable populations of all of them in captivity. For the vast majority of species, the only way to save them is to preserve their habitats and to eliminate the pollution, hunting, or whatever else threatens them. So captive breeding is not the best option to save endangered species, but it can make a big difference in cases where it is possible.

How can you help these animals from becoming extinct?
By Breeding them. Bring them in an isolated area with plenty of food and water. Each area has a male type an animal and a female type , of the same animal the male is. Breeding is the best way to make an endangered species to re-populate any species.
Your animals better in zoo or in their natural hebistate?
The best place for animals is in the wild. The only exception being captive breeding programs for endangered species. Now that I have said that I suppose that means virtually every species since we are putting such huge pressure on the natural world by our destructive activities and population growth. We have to reserve viable areas for wildlife to live and thrive if we are not to keep degrading this planet to the point where only farm animals for our dairy and meat consumption remain.

Differentiaate between endangered species and threatened species?
Threatened means that the animal is vulnerable to extinction and the population of the animal is declining. (ex: Certain species of whale population are being threatened.) Endangered means that the animal will soon be extinct if nothing is done about it. Some endangered animals are being bred in captivity until their numbers increase enough to be released back in the wild. (ex: Bald Eagles are an endangered species of bird. Pandas are an endangered species of bear.) Extinct means that the animal has completely died out and there aren't any left of this species. (ex: Dinosaurs are an extinct species of reptile. Dodo is an extinct bird.) Here's a visual: Threatened-------------> Endangered---------------> Extinct
