In most cases animals live longer due to not having any predators and are guaranteed nutritious food, and routine vet care. In some cases, like elephants, they are best left in the wild, as they cannot walk the minimum 20 some miles a day they need in captivity and therefor live shorter lives.

Are zoos good or bad for all kinds of animals?

Would you be happy in a cage? No. Some zoos are horrible places just set up for cheap entertainment. But some have wide open spaces and really help save animals from extinction. As long as the animal keeps all its skills of the wild than zoos will survive legally. But zoos can turn into a death trap if desease breaks out. lol sabby
