Hundreds of years ago we would capture animals directly from the wild and place them in zoos to study. Particularly with newer species.

They were captured by explorers, adventurers and scientists, such as Charles Darwin.

Nowadays it's very rare for a wild animal to be placed in a zoo. These days modern zoo populations are kept steady by internal breeding programs.
