Most mainstream zoos attempt to provide a 'natural habitat' for the animals in their care. Zookeepers have detailed formulas that pertain to each animals care and feeding to ensure long lives and reproduction. Many zoos, however, do not have the space to provide all of their animals as large a habitat as is comfortable for the specific animals or groups of animals.

Do zoos abuse animals?

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.


Why are animals in zoos instead of the wild?

Some zoos have animals just for show and they breed them there. Other zoos just have endangered animals: animals that are injured and cannot survive in the wild, babies that have been abandoned or separated from their parents or endangered species. But some zoos have a mixture of both... :)
