the case for those species who roam larger distances in their natural habitat. Tigers and lions have around 18‚000 times less space in zoos than they would in the wild. Polar bears have one million times less space.” Moreover‚ they have also researched that animals die prematurely in zoos than in the wild.

chains that link together. Invasive species are a part of our food web. Invasive species pose a great threat to the habitat of the existing native organisms. They can cause major disruptions to the existing habitats and so it is important to be able to stop their damage. Invasive species can be found in many different habitats including land and water. If the population of a given habitat increases‚ then there will be too many animals and too little food to feed the extra organisms. Introducing new organisms
