This brings a sad picture to mind‚ that of a wild animal held captive‚ unable to stalk his prey and revel in his catch when the chase is through.

Scrub Island is an example of a thorn-scrub habitat. Scrub Island is formed by volcanic activity.

Habitat is the place providing animals with food‚ sleeping area and every essential material to live. In the Arctic‚ the polar bears’ habitat becomes worse recently due to the shortage of sea ice and food. The first change in habitat is increasing the temperature of the Arctic.

For instance some common traits found in zoo animals across the world is depression‚ stereotypic behavior‚ and self injury. This shows that the zoos lack of realistic habitats and opportunities to engage in physical activities are literally driving these animals insane. this proves that the lack of new changes in the habitats looks can cause the animals to harm themselves because

In biology and ecology‚ extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon)‚ normally a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species‚ although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species’ potential range may be very large‚ determining this moment is difficult‚ and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa‚ where a species
