It depends which zoo you're talking about, obviously, but most (western) zoos have high standards of care. Although the animals are in captivity, they are given enrichment (toys, food puzzles or movement of enclosure features) which allow them to express natural behaviour. If animals are comfortable and happy, they tend not to try and escape!
People interact with animals by keeping them as pets, visiting them in zoos, and observing them in the wild. With insects, people may study them for scientific purposes or try to control their populations in agriculture. In terms of plants, people grow them for food, medicine, and ornamental purposes, as well as for environmental conservation and landscaping.
yes the ice is melting and the penguins need the ice to live without ice it's hard for the penguins because they can't swim forever! The polar bears face the same problem. We should all try to conserve energy to protect the penguins and the earth.
well really we dont know what that is try withh us later and we will try to get it right
yes they do circuses are cruel to animals hurting them if there not doing as there told. zoos do try to help give the elephants the best home that they can, but it is never really enough. elephants are very huge, complex animals. they need a lot of room to do almost every activity that they do, and zoos cannot give it to them.
this is very hard to do dont try or ask aboutn it
Many zoos with endangered animals make efforts to grow and sustain a population of that animal. These zoos participate in the Species Survival Plan Program and treat the endangered animals well.
the pros of a zoo is that many zoos cure animals with diseases or sicknesses. they also help care for orphaned animals until they are ready to go out in the wild on there own. some zoos also have breeding programs to try and save endangered species of animals.
Zoos employ animal doctors (veterinarians ), nutritionists, and other professionals to give the best care possible to their animals. Most zoos do this, in an attempt to try, and protect their animals, and keep them as healthy as possible. The average zoo does not set out to hurt, or neglect their animals. Some small, and unregulated zoos, (private collections, or petting zoos), may not be as concerned for the animal's welfare as they should be. Anytime, there is a question in a vistors mind, as to the conditions of an animal, or it's living quarters, it needs to be reported discreetly, but quickly, to the proper authorities. But on average, most zoos, try to keep all their animals healthy and happy.
Zoos have warning signs posted to protect both the visitor and the animal. Teasing the animals can stress them out and cause the animal to try to attack the visitors or zookeepers.
They hunt/forage for food and try to escape from predators to survive.
They place no part in a "species" survuival plan. However they do play a part in Man's plans to try and save species. Where species are endagered in the wild, zoos try and keep a captive breeding population going.
Zoos that have bad minds. Get them out of the zoo!
The most famous was China's giant panda, which avoided extinction in the California Zoo. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums has saved bongos and forest African antelopes. These animals were also successfully bred and released back into the wild.
Yes, zoos do protect animals. If they were out in the wild many wouldn't have any chance of surviving. But in zoos their food, water, any supplements, or shots they need are brought to them. Any medical attention they need is available for them. They are usually cared for and have enough room to move, play, and many times they are given "enrichment toys and food". Plus they are protected from their predators, and babies abandoned are hand reared. Almost all zoos protect the animals from the visitors too, not allowing the guests to harass them, throw things at them, or be too loud, or taunt the animals. It's not always perfect or ideal, but as a general rule, most zoos that are accredited, or certified do try to protect and care for their animals.
Don't purchase products made by rhinos. Support zoos who have them.
They dont they will sometimes try to hide.
Zoos exist because, if there weren't zoos there wouldn't be a place for animals to be cared for. The only place would be the vet's office. Also because we need to care for the animals in need, like the ones that are sick or orphaned. There are bad points about zoos but the zoo is mainly for people to see rare animals and for education, but lots of other reasons too.
