I Wonder (part 9)


I Wonder...
Why do some animals live longer in the zoo than in the wild?

Over 80% (more than 50 mammals) live longer in a zoo than in the wild. This is because of the protection the zookeepers have for the animals which keeps predators, disease etc out so they can live longer. Most of the time smaller species with a faster pace in life will live longer in the zoo, but larger, slower species like elephants live longer in the wild.
