5 Animals That Can Only Be Found In Captivity

[@ztlabraptor211]

Species like these really show the importance of zoos and captive breeding programs

[@PokemonMasterNick]

But I thought PETA said “EMptY AlL ZoOS!!11!!1”

[@biokosmos]

This is because some turds want "buy" (as if it were possible to buy a sentient being, it is not an object!) exotic animals to force them to an empty, absurd and unhappy life. so criminals from all over the world go around kidnapping these poor people and sending them as parcels everywhere. Disgusting

[@omayaki5264]

@@PokemonMasterNick well there is a difference small zoos only for tourists, and proper zoos with repopulation programs and right care. It isn't a black and white picture. Because animals will only reproduce when the conditions are right, and for many species, zoos simply can't afford to create the right conditions.

[@ztlabraptor211]

@@omayaki5264 accredited zoos in North America and Europe have very strict standards they have to adhere to tbf, I agree though a lot of those smaller roadside zoos that are just trying to make a few bucks are problematic

Axolotls are close to being on this list. They're almost extinct in the wild but very popular in the pet trade

[@Mikey.....................]

They are also really easy to breed and there's a great variety of colorations

[@coalcupcake4659]

[@amandawelch9125]

in captivity , as pets, they have been hybridized with salamanders. So they would never be candidates for release

[@filipsmiljic9470]

Barbary lion is probably the most famous species extinct in the wild, so I like that you mentioned some obscure ones. Good job!

[@vernonfridy8416]

Note, however, that there are no genetically pure Barbary Lions in zoos; back when Barbary Lions still existed in the wild, zoos were far less careful regarding breeding than they are now (in addition, circuses were regularly breeding them), and therefore, many lions, tigers, and giraffes are intergrades between subspecies. It is also worth mentioning that pure Bengal Tigers and Reticulated Giraffes don’t appear to exist in captivity outside of their native countries.

[@parker8525]

Spix macaws should be on the list as well since they’re already E.W. for a while now. That is till recently the breeding program released a few hundred of them a few days ago.

[@avidhossanmansur9830]

Sad fact: There are more tigers alive in captivity in the US alone than in the wild! And the saddest part is this is most of these big majestic cats are kept in poor conditions in roadside zoos and often overbred to generate more profit. Even worse most animal welfare facilities lack the crew or enclosers to properly keep them. So they remain unnoticed or ignored by authorities. And to add insult to injury many times these animals escape and what happens next is any ones guess. We need to put strict implications for housing and keeping possibly dangerous wild animals.

[@warthogpower7729]

I blame the Tiger King and Carole Baskin and others

[@macthomas128]

Are you sure this is all tigers or just Siberian tigers?

[@avidhossanmansur9830]

@@macthomas128 Yes, look it up.

[@sethstoots15]

There are more tigers in Texas alone than in the wilds of India and Siberia combined. They are not in zoos. They are private landowners who have them

[@skan7677]

So what you are saying is: We have more tigers in captivity becouse people like them, but.... etc. What we should do is get strict rules. Becouse... etc. Thata the way to make less tigers in the world. I think the captivity is the way to go. I agree that a good captivity area and sanity is important, but whit humans they are triving. And as a specie thats the important part. I just want to say that. Im a captivity promotor. Nature conservation is likely to go south son or later.

Not 100% sure, but I think I ve heard of a type of rainbow fish that is extinct in the wild, but is commonly sold in pet stores cause they are super easy to breed in captivity. The reason they went extinct in the wild was that they only lived in one lake, and something happened there that made em extinct.

[@Ozraptor4]

Lake Eacham Rainbowfish. Was considered extinct in the wild, but fortunately small wild populations were found outside the original lake. They died out in the lake because locals introduced large predatory fish for recreational fishing. The species is still highly endangered in the wild, but they are easy to breed in tanks and well established in the aquarium hobby.

Barbary Lions are unfortunately extinct in the wild, but there are some in European zoos, but they may not be pure as they may have bred with other sub species of lion.
