Elephants In Zoo's And In The Wild

When elephants are put into zoo's they suffer more difficult life then living in the wild. When elephants are in zoo's there behavior changes, joint problems, and develop diseases. Also, female African elephants born in zoo's live an average of 16.9 years, and female African elephants that are born and raised in the wild live up to 56 years. People say that stress and obesity are the blame for elephants dieing earlier then they do in the wild, because elephants in zoo's do not get the same amount of exercise as they do in the wild. So as you see elephants are better off living in the wild.
