An animal that was saved from being extinct from the help from Zoo's?

Question

i really need it for my essay that is due tomarrow

Answer 1

The California Condor, was saved by the zoos in sourthern California. At the time the population of the bird was less then 100, now the bird is thriving once again.

Answer 2

A good one would be the Micronesian/Guam kingfisher, Halcyon cinnamomina cinnamomina.

There are countless species that zoos are helping to save, but I think this one is particularly compelling because they are extinct in the wild. They now exist only in zoos as a result of captive breeding programs.

I think a better approach would have been to visit your local AZA-accredited zoo, read the signs and talk with staff members. There are countless species that have compelling stories, and I think you would have been fascinated by your finds.

Answer 3

The San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park help many animals including rhinos and condors.

Answer 4

For reference look up Gerald Durrell and Jersey Wildlife Trust as he made it his life work to save many endangered species. Incidentally, Przwalki's Horse( spelling is probably incorrect) was saved from extinction in the wild.

Answer 5

Golden Lion Tamarin

Answer 6

The Red Wolf Species Survival Plan is a zoo based effort.

Answer 7

Pere David's Deer

The Pere David's deer originally occurred in northeastern and east-central China, but it apparently became extinct in the wild at least 100 years ago. Hunting is thought to have been the main reason for the original decline of the wild Pere David's deer. It survived in parks, and in the 1800's a French missionary and naturalist, Father ("Pere" in French) David, observed the animals in the last remaining Chinese herd. Word of this aroused great interest in Europe, and subsequent efforts resulted in a number of these animals being sent to Europe. The remaining deer in China ultimately perished in the early 1900's, mostly due to floods and the unrest during the Boxer Rebellion. In the late 1980's, a number of deer were returned to China and re-introduced to the wild in China's Dafeng reserve. They have successfully reproduced.

The Critically Endangered Père David's deer Elaphurus davidianu became extinct in the wild in China in about 1900, and the only surviving animals were held in captivity at Woburn Abbey in the UK. During 1985–1987, individuals were returned to China, and subsequent growth of the captive population in enclosures at Dafeng Reserve necessitated a trial release of a small group of deer as a prelude to further releases. Seven individuals were released into the unfenced coastal region of the Dafeng Reserve in 1998. Behaviour, daily activity rhythm, habitat selection, activity range and body condition were recorded for six months after release. The deer exhibited initial changes in behaviour, but returned to their pre-release patterns about four weeks after release, and by six weeks after release their body condition had improved compared to their previous condition in captivity.

Answer 8

Writing an essay and yet you have three errors in English in only two sentences. Why is zoo possessive? The plural of zoo is zoos not zoo's. First person singular is I. The day after today is spelled TOMORROW.
