Why the animals kept in the zoo?
It should be fairly obvious that if you want to keep, say, gazelles within a short distance of, say, lions, you need to find some way to restrain them so that you don't come in one morning and find a bunch of rather contented-looking lions and a suspicious absence of gazelles.
The modern trend in zoos is away from cages as such and toward more natural-looking habitats with hidden barriers.

Can you bring food to the San Diego Zoo?
You can bring food into the zoo but you cannot feed it to the animals. If you have to eat a special diet they will let you bring in food, especially for a baby. My mother used to eat her lunch there several times a week (she had the lifetime pass). There is a restaurant there and food stands. The food at the good restaurant is really good. The small cafe food is nominal.
What animals have zoos repopulated?
Answer
Although this might be meant as the goal of most zoos, it is unfortunate that some, especially smaller zoos, care more for money than they do for their animals. By keeping them confined to small cages with little room to move, while taking the profits made from saving space, for more animals. On the other hand there are wildlife rehabilitation centres which save injured wildlife, then return them when they are healthy again.

What kind of animals cannot keep in zoo?
Well, i don't believe any dog should be kept in a cage, no matter the size, unless its for a short period of time( vet, trip, etc) Same with cats or any house bred animal to that size range. Birds, small pets, rodents should be kept in cages but should be let out to stretch. Reptiles and amphibians (pardon my spelling) are kept in special glass environments, and should be kept there for the right amount of time. . Leave me a message for further answer :D

The reason I hates is because these animal are taken out of there natural habitat. Then stuck in cage for the rest of their lives. They're nothing but a product for human amusement. I understand some animal need to be saved because of illegal fur trade and other things from human destroying there natural habitat. It's still heartbreaking.
