can a zoo animal live in the wild?

Question

and if you could have traits from an animal what animal would it be and why....only one animal

Answer 1

Of course they can, in fact many zoos are on breed and release programs. The goal is to release new healthy blood lines into the wild to help with low wild populations.

You will find though that depending on the animal, if the goal is to be released into the wild their care can be different. For example if it is a species that has the chance to run into humans often in the wild, the keepers will try to limit their personal contact so that the animals will still retain as much "fear" as possible once released.

As far as an animal trait, I would like to be able to breathe under water.

Answer 2

O.Gs this rant again!

after animals live in zoos for a long time they lose there hunting skills not the instinct but to a point when they could not live long. the only exception is the okra witch is the only animal that lives longer in the wild. now this mostly only apples to animals that get imprinted of humans, crocodiles could happily live in the wild but people would not like that idea just look at Florida. zoos do have a release program where babys are put with wild animals of the same kind and tised to be returned to the wild but a animal that has lived in a zoo no.

now if i could have traits of any animal well take a guess. (if the counts as a animal to you)

Answer 3

If the animal had been captured from the wild then released, yes. But, most zoo animals are now completely dependent upon humans for everything. Zoo animals have been breed in captivity, born and raised in a zoo. They would stand little chance acclimating back in to the wild.

Answer 4

rather the respond is It relies upon.... relies upon on species how stable there care is interior the zoo and on the animal itself A properly be attentive to species that have shortened lifespans in captivity are elephants often no longer getting previous 0.5 of the age they might hit interior the wild the place many many different species thrive, exceedingly those decrease down the foodstuff chain the place predation is a relentless danger interior the wild on the full greater species have an prolonged lifespan in zoo and private captive collections that people who do no longer yet there are a great style of species that are many times present in zoo's and don't do properly in captivity

Answer 5

The animals that are in the zoo will lose their hunting skills as zoo keepers just need to feed them with prepared food.

Answer 6

All animals which are brought from the wild to the zoo, can live in the wild. Not only live, they can have longer life span & can reproduce more easily. It is because it's their natural habitat. Some examples are cheetahs, giraffes, rhinoceroses eic.

Answer 7

yes, provided they are mature enough and have enough source of food and water.. natural predators are another thing to consider.. as for traits, i would choose strenght of a grizzly bear.

Answer 8

no it makes them lose their knack of hunting
