Question by Answer-Me-This: How do zoos decide which animals to keep and which ones to not keep?
Is it only endangered animals in zoos, or popular animals, or animals that are considered more domestic or friendly or what!? Heck, is there even a criteria at all?

Answer by Jessica
The criteria is different for each zoo. There are many factors for deciding which animals to keep. A zoo must first be able to afford the animal and to build the habitat in which to keep it. Then they have to consider whether it is an animal which may interest the public. If that animal has special dietary or environmental needs (like if they would have to buy more than one animal) that needs to be considered as well.
Each zoo is different, has different funding, and has a different public about which to be concerned. Some zoos will have domestic animals such as donkeys and horses because they cannot afford more exotic animals or because their visitors actually enjoy seeing these animals. Some zoos don’t bother with these types of animals.
