many zoos at this time do not keep their animals in cages, but in large, fenced in enclosures wich allow them to feel comfortable in a more natural habitat. cages for smaller animals, such as turtles or mice, are large enough to have a few areas; one for resting, one for food, and one for play. cages for small mammals and reptiles should be large enough that the animal has room to exercise and at least turn around. a lot of the time at zoos, animals have display cages and areas where they live, which are much larger than display cages.

ANSWER

the above is true, but not for all countries, poorer and less educated countries dont care about animal welfare as much as we do or at all sometimes

some lions and tigers are kept in cages no bigger than a large box, this is one of the reasons why there are so many people angry at the treatment of zoo animals.

most westernized countries and zoos are great places now for animals and they live happy productive lives and as above poster says they live in lager outdoors orientated enclosures.
