“It seems likely that a caged elephant would miss the wilderness it was born into.” a six-year study revealed.
British and Canadian scientists studied 4,500 elephants in European zoos and compared them with elephants living in the wild. They found that wild elephants are healthier, live longer and reproduce more than those elephants in zoos.
When it comes to living in a zoo, “many species do well but elephants don’t,” said Georgia Mason, one of the researchers of the study. Many animals live longer in zoos than they do in the wild. This isn’t surprising when you consider that zoo animals are not threatened by predators , always have plenty to eat, P.F. Productions and have professionals on hand to care for them.
When it comes to elephants, however, the situation is different. The world’s largest land animals live much longer in the wild than they do in zoos.
Female African elephants born in zoos live on average for 17 years, while those in the wild make it to 56. “So far,” says Mason, “We’ve got 300 African elephants in zoos in Europe, and not one’s yet reached 50.”
Asian elephants are the more endangered of the two elephant species. They live for about 19 years in captivity compared to 42 years in the wild. A few wild Asian elephants have even made it into their 70s. In Kenya, 30 to 50 percent of wild elephants reach 50 years of age.
Fatness and stress are likely causes for the giant land animals’ early death in captivity, Mason said.
The researchers say that zoos do not offer enough space for animals that can travel as far as 48 kilometers a day. Too little exercise and too much food means captive elephants put on extra weight. The weight gain can lead to heart disease and other health problems.
Being “caged” is bad for health, not only for elephants, but also for humans. Be careful not to become a “caged elephant”!
66. Many animals live longer in zoos owing to the following reasons EXCEPT that ________. A. they are far away from the danger of being eaten.
B. they can be in a better mood there.
C. they needn’t worry about their food at all.
D. they are taken good care of.
73. Which of the following may probably result in the early death of elephants in zoos?
A. Stress and lack of delicious food. B. Loneliness and little space for activities.
C. Lack of delicious food and enough exercise. D. Being stressed and over weight.
74. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Zoos are not suitable for animals to live in.
B. None of the animals live well in zoos due to lack of exercise.
C. Compared with the elephants in zoos, wild elephants are healthier.
D. Asian elephants can live longer than African elephants in zoos.
75. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The living conditions of animals in the world are worsening.
B. Elephants can live a longer time in the wild than in zoos.
C. All of us should take actions to protect wild elephants.
D. The places where wild elephants live are being damaged seriously.
