Zoos hunt animals in forests of course! They trap them and put them in cages, and then bring them to the zoo. Then the put them in bigger cages in the zoo, so that scientists can study them and people can enjoy them. Also, many animals are now traded for between zoos. Especially the long lived animals and those that breed easily in the Zoo's enviroment. Breeding and raising the desired animals for zoos, in order to have more of the endangered animals. With the advances in science and storage of sperm and egg, a breeding program can work with several other Zoo's programs to guard the genetic pools of those animals that need close watching. Alot of the seriously endangered are so hard to find in the wild, and the trapping and trip are phycially, and emotionally dangerous for the creature, that removing them from the wild is not a viable option for stocking Zoos any more.

Today, most animals in zoos are bred at the zoo, were gifts from other zoos, other conservation groups, etc. Very few animals in zoos today are wild caught and placed in captivity.

Exotic animals can be unpredictable and zookeepers are trained to handle them. There are always several people to care for zoo animals, but an individual can easily be overpowered by a large animal.
Do Zoos make profit?
Of course. Zoos brag about conservation efforts and breeding programs to save endangered species, but it is all for profit. People want to see exotic, adorable baby animals. Notice zoos are never dedicated to breeding ugly endangered species. After cute baby animals grow up, they are traded, sold to circuses, or worse. Zoos do not care about splitting up families and emotionally damaging their animals. If zoos cared about wild animals, they would have sanctuaries in natural habitats to save wild animals from environmental degradation and human poachers. Zoos exist for human entertainment.
