Best Answer

There are multiple reasons why a male and female of a species can't breed in a zoo. The environment may be wrong (too much activity, feels unnatural), the staff might prevent them from mating (seperating males and females in different enclosures), or there might be a high miscarriage rate (such as with llamas and pandas). The female also might simply reject the male, as with a wild environment.
