Because in the wild, there is a possibility that the lion won't find/catch food sometimes, while in a zoo, they get fed on a regular basis, there won't be a time when they have to miss a meal. Plus, lions get hunted in the wild, but nobody's just going to bring a gun to the zoo and shoot a lion.

∙ 10y agoZoos or any other forms of protective captivity keep kangaroos safe from their main threats. Whilst larger kangaroos have few predators, they are often hit by cars on outback roads, and zoos keep them safe from this.many smaller species of kangaroos are at constant risk of predation by non-native predators such as foxes, feral cats and wild dogs. These animals pose the biggest threat, and zoos therefore serve to protect the kangaroos from early death.
