Why shouldn't animals be kept in the zoo?
Most animals have a specialised diet. Interfering with their diet could make them very ill. The people who work in zoos are experts at knowing what the animals in their care should eat if they were in their own environment, and able to get their own food, whether it is meat, plants, insects, grains, etc. Feeding the animals food which they should not have, can make it difficult for zoo keepers to track if an animal is eating enough food, or make it hard to keep an animal healthy if they are already unwell.
Do bears hibernate in the zoo?
Yes, in some zoos they will stop feeding the bears that do hibernate and close off their area to duplicate a hibernation cave. These bears can then do what they would do if they were in the wild in hibernation, like give birth to young bears.
What animals do well in captivity?
No, I don't think that animals should be in captivity. They should be kept free, or on large tracts of land safe. While most zoo keepers know what they are doing, there is still a big risk to the animals for injury, as well as stress related physical and mental conditions due to the lack of stimulation, and the small enclosures. Also, the animals are entirely dependent on the keepers, inviting abuse if the keeper is so inclined. I don't believe there are lots such people in these jobs, but the potential is there.
Another View...
It greatly depends on the situation and context the term is used in. Zoos and nature reserves are places where animals are kept in an enclosed space for education and conservation purposes. They enable people to see beautiful wild animals that they would never otherwise get to see, and educates the general public about the animals and the threats to their natural habitats. Some species, without captive breeding, would be long extinct such as Przewalski's horse which no longer exists in the wild.
Zoos and nature reserves today are constantly monitored to make sure the animals are in the best health and happiness. Each enclosure is specially designed for the animal living in it to keep it as close to its natural habitat as possible. Remember - these animals have been born in captivity. They do not miss "the wild" as they do not know what it is. This a far cry from the zoos in the past that were cold, concrete cages.

Should tigers be kept in zoos?
The lion is a vulnerable species. There has been a major population decline of its natural range of 30-50% every 20 years since the 1950s. In the wild, lions live 10-14 years. In captivity they can live longer than 20 years. In today's zoos, the lions are kept in a large compound or park. They have a constant supply of food and are attended by veternarians who specialize in lion health. Zoos offer the general public a chance to see animals up-close-and-personal that they would never have a chance to witness otherwise.

Without zoo's injured animals would not have as many places to be rehabbed. Most zoo (from reputable zoos) animals come from other zoos or are injured and cannot survive in the wild.

Do zoos give animals enough cage space?
Yes, they get to... wait... I think that they are allowed to run around in their pens. Good zoo owners will always make big areas so that the animals can be happy. Not making animals happy once they are removed from their habitat is cruelty to animals. Now go visit a zoo, you monkey!!!!!!!! (You don't have to)
Do zoos preserve endangered species?
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.

How you crossbreed a cheetah in zoo story 2?
The Yeti isn't a crossbreed. It is only obtained through the "Winter Box". There are a series of Mystery Boxes that each cost 24 gems, and when you buy it you don't know what you're gonna get. I myself got lucky, and out of the 3 Winter Boxes I bought, I got a Snow Fairy, a Yeti, and something else that wasn't an animal. When buying a box you can get something cool like an animal or something dumb like a bench. Hope this helped! ~ c4ps
