Zoos introduce new animals by following a carefully planned process that may involve quarantine, health checks, and introductions to other animals in a controlled environment. The new animal's well-being and safety are top priorities during this process to ensure a smooth transition and successful integration into their new habitat. Zookeepers closely monitor the interactions and behavior of the animals to ensure they are adjusting well.
