What is the Contrast between wild and the zoo?
Animals in zoos have their natural instincts blunted, and in some ways makes them more dangerous. You know, for example, how a wild tiger should react, but one raised in captivity may seem docile, then turn on you with disasterous results.
ABSOLUTELY! If someone says no, then I would say, 'why aren't human's put in cages?' Animals deserve just as much freedom as us.
A white lemur in a zoo is harmful helpful or neutral?
I am assuming you are referring to a black-and-white ruffed lemur, which is fairly common in zoos. Regardless, all animals in zoos are kept to educate the public, and especially in the case of lemurs, they act as insurance against extinction in the wild. In the wild, many lemur species are seed dispersers, thus benefiting the forests in which they live.
All species are beneficial to their natural environment. The only time a species is harmful is when it's invasive (introduced and taking over).
Where does the food come from at the Bronx zoo?
Please be more precise about the food you are asking about, it will help you receive the information, or answer you are seeking. But generally speaking, food for people and animals comes from the same place, farms, fisheries, then baking, freezing and canning companies along with other producers and factories. But, almost all that we or animals eat, starts out on a farm, and then is processed in some manner for transport to market. For more specific details, the question needs to be more specific.

What do you call a species living in a zoo?
I'm not sure what you mean by this, but i will try to answer. If you mean what do you call an animal that is in a zoo, then it is called a captive animal, or animal in captivity.
There is no official term for animals in a zoo, like "zoo-ite" or something if that's what you mean haha

What type of cage the zoo animals have?
It only depends on what type of animals you are talking about. If you are talking about a bird cage then its going to be smaller, but if your talking about a dog cage then it is going to be about 3x (smallest) the size of a bird cage. But zoo animals don't exactly have cages. The zookeepers give the animal a habitat that is like their original home. For example, you would not keep a lion in a cage. Lions need open room to do their everyday normal things, like; run, sleep, eat, mate (if other male or female lions are in). I am not saying that lions will mate if you put two different genders in one area. But, long story short... If there are any zoo animals ( I am pretty sure there have to be at least a few) they would be in a metal or steel cage.
Should animals be kept in zoos?
Zoos may seems like a inhumane way to keep animal... locked up. But the plus side to zoos are they help stop animals from becoming extinct. They are also used for animal research which can help repopulate some species back into the wild.
For
Zoo life does not prepare animals for the challenges of life in the wild. For example, two rare lynxes released into the wild in Colorado died from starvation even though the area was full of hares, which are a lynx's natural prey.
Zoo will care for orphaned young or injured wildlife.
Animals properly cared for in Zoo's usually live a longer and healthier life than those in the wild, and they also allow those of us who have never been to the wilds a chance to see those animals with our own eye
Against
Diseases often spread between species
that would never live together naturally.
For example, many Asian elephants have died
in US zoos after catching herpes from African elephants.
Some animals are kept in cages, which show cruelty towards these animals. It shows that they do not consider animals' rights and feelings. Animal should have the right to go anywhere they want to go
- the animals who live there are kept in enclosures that don't allow them to live their lives in a natural way.
- Animals like polar bears or felines are used to hunting; the zoo with regular feedings replaces this habit. Most animals kept in zoos would naturally roam for tens of miles a day.
- Surplus animals are either killed - and sometimes fed to their fellow zoo habitants - or sold to other zoos or dealers.
- It's unnatural environment.
- They treat wild animals as an entertainment for people too.
- Animals change their behaviour in Zoos as it is different form the wild.
overall i think zoos can be a great place for animals... it's the safest place for the animals too... they are well feed and they don't have any worries....
but these won't be true in every zoos. some zoos can be too small for the animals and the animals may don't like it there....
these is topic where there will be an argument can take place...
As much as i love visiting to zoo i hate to see animals locked up like that, its not natural. Animals are not enjoying life in the zoos and they arent getting a chance to be a wild normal animal. If you have ever been on safari you would have seen animals jumping in the long grass and hunting food and eating large portions of it. do they get to do these things on zoos? no, its just not fair.
