Saving animals from captivity
WHY DON’T ALL ANIMALS LIVE WHERE THEY COME FROM? Many animals in the world no longer live in the habitats or countries where they would naturally be found. Animals such as snakes, monkeys, big cats, and others that are native to Africa have been moved around the globe. They may
