Zoos are good for both animals and people.

For example, some zoos have created specialized “floors” made of sand and clay that are soft like the jungle to protect elephants’ feet.

Zoos do not just protect animals, they actually increase their population by breeding them.

So if someone finds a sick grizzly bear, for example, they can bring it to a zoo where it will be treated.
