Analysis(4 Points)|*mental and physical health of the animals in the wild*mental and physical health of the animals in captivity*habitat in the wild*habitat in captivity |
Conclusion(2 Points)|My research results supported my conclusion. The habitats they are place into in captivity have little to no similarities to there natural habitat. Many of the animals placed into captivity, have spaces that arent big enough to support there needs, which result in physical and even mental issues. |
