Yes, they typically live longer, because of feeding, protection against predators, sickness and diseases, etc.
animals live longer in the zoo then the wild because there is a steadier food balance in a zoo than in the wild there is also not any predators in the zoo in the cage they are in.
The median life expectancy of a 1-year-old dolphin in human care is about 25 years, which is about twice what it is for animals in the wild. So I'm guessing they live longer in zoos.
The diet and lack of animals that could cause harm to the wolf enable it to live longer in captivity.
they live longer in captivity but they aren't happy because they are whiped and beated so they will preform good on stage and then the people will make more money (im doing a report on this so i know all about it
wild animals
On average, wild animals live longer if kept in captivity. Wild animals must cover many miles daily in search of food, where zoo animals are hopefully fed everyday and looked after. Lions in the Serengeti usually live only eight years, but can live 20 years in a zoo. Arctic polar bears may live 20 years in the wild, but their life expectancy can double to 40 years in captivity.
It really depends on what animal you are reffering to. Animals in captivity can live twice as long as animals in the wild. Some animals can live up to the same age in any. There are more dangers to animals in the wild, such as predetors, poachers and lack of food/water. Animals bred in captivity have no real dangers so they would be considered to live longer.
People can live longer because of medicine. Animals in the wild can have there problems fixed and may also live longer. People can grow animals faster and have more food.
Beleive it or not an endangered species would live longer in the wild than in captivity. They also have a better chance of reproducing young in the wild,giving them a better chance of not being endangered.

Yes. Animals are safe from predators in captivity. Also, veterinarians have a major role in the prolonging of animals lives. http://onthescene.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/04/10/longevity-of-zoo-animals-increasing/
Animals mostly live in the wild.
