cause many hunters will kill them in wild
Some zoos have animals just for show and they breed them there. Other zoos just have endangered animals: animals that are injured and cannot survive in the wild, babies that have been abandoned or separated from their parents or endangered species. But some zoos have a mixture of both... :)
It depends. If the zoo holds an endangered species they would usually breed it and give it back to the wild.
yes
So the species does not become extinct.
To ensure the continuity of endangered species
because they want to preserve the endangered species that are in the zoos
Zoos are keeping endangered animals in the zoo, to try and help the species by breeding them. If they can get them to reproduce and have healthy offspring that will be able to breed in the future, they are contributing to the species population in general, and the diversity of the gene pool for the species. The hope is that in the long run the species will not be endangered anymore. Also if the species is still endangered, or needs serious conservation work, we might have had time to learn new techniques, and technology to make other advances that can make a major difference in helping maintain the health of the species populations.
Wildlife reserves or sanctuaries, zoos.
Zoos have breeding programs for endangered animals so they are helping keep a species alive.
Zoos contribute to the conservation of natural resources by participating in breeding programs for endangered species. By breeding animals in captivity, zoos help to boost populations of threatened species and reduce the pressure on their wild habitats.
The zoo keepers breed with the animals to keep the race going XD
