There are some good reasons why zoos are not necessarily a good place to keep wild animals. First of all the animals are often forced to live in cramped uncomfortable conditions. Secondly it can be difficult to find appropriate food for these animals. Finally we often try to keep these animals in totally unsuitable climates. Nevertheless in our modern world the natural habitat of many animals is under threat and they are in danger of becoming extinct.
