4. I think it's more about their lifestyle. In good zoos, they're trained by staff so that humans can

Interact with them for examinations. Those animals love "performing" since they get treats and compliments. But they otherwise live in a herd and more and more live in a spacious environment. However, the circus elephants were often abused while trained and their environment wasn't close to natural.

Hey!!! Have I got the pleasure-reading books for you!!! The first one is Zamba, the performing lion raised on love instead of fear. You'll LOVE Zamba, I promise... wish I hadn't already read it! Next, the books by Lawrence Anthony... what a life!!! I started out with The Elephant Whisperer... google in what the elephants did after he died. I still can't believe it, but can't find evidence it's a hoax. Ever wondered what happens to zoo animals after a war? Anthony was asked to go to Bagdad to save what was left of its zoo. The author/trainer of Zamba also wrote about an elephant named Medoc.

Sorry we won't be hearing from you for a while... you'll be glued to these books! They're on Kindle.
