I took my wife to the zoo. She loves the gorillas, but when they see her, they run into their enclosure. Why?

They probably got scared 'cause they thought she was another gorilla encroaching on their territory.

I think that it is a natural behavior for a chimp.  Have her spayed, maybe that will sove your problem.

After transforming into humans, and realizing what a huge mistake they have made, apes decided to stop the process and now MONKEYS DO NOT BECOME HUMANS any more. What a pity...\nBut, on the other side, some humans are very successful in reversing the process.

ooohh you had to bring up those 70's sea monkey's! What do you think brought me to Florida? Those damn sea monkey's thats who...They grew into 420lb. creatures no very cute I might add. The rumors started by the town folk in Pennsylvania and they all showed up at the farm at night with torches and pitch forks with the sheriff and the mayor. I had to put them aboard my truck and transport them to the swamp here for their own safety. I didn't have the heart to leave em there..they look sorta like sea horses. They swim with the manatees now!

I believe that humans and gorillas are genetically incompatible, meaning they can't make babies.\n\nHorses, zebras, and donkeys can still make babies because they used to be the same animal, but have not changed enough to be genetically incompatible. Give them another 50,000 years or so and they will lose the ability to make inter-species babies.

we'll it was the whales instict ( how they kill their prey) but they captured him from the wild and if they let him go he will most likely not live very long because the zoo keepers gave him his food and taught him tricks. he won't know how to catch food and won't know what food to and not to eat along w/ what other sea going creatures to avoid and get along w/!! They should have never captured any of those animals unless they plan to help the species multiply and reproduce but only w/ endagered and almost extinct!!!!!

Depends on who is around.  Generally Dragon likes to remain rather subdued, but with certain people in certain situations, she lets her wild side run free. ;)

Because they are gay. They like to play hide and seek with the brown snake. They like to anally invade ach other. They like to play put the meat in the fridge. They put it in the oven.

While a gorilla would need little or no physical training to be able to climb Everest, the tricky part would be making it want to climb Everest.  One thing which humans have that most animals don't is ambition.

I have absolutely no problems with this at all. It must be understood that the animals are all hatched and reared in the zoo and are not taken from the wild population. Living in the near ideal conditions of the zoo the survival rate of hatch-lings is close to 100% and without predators of any sort they will all grow to adulthood. This means that the zoo is producing far more crocodiles than it can possibly accommodate. You would not expect a chicken farm to keep all the birds it rears would you, and this is no different, there has to be a balance between how many animals are being born and how many can be looked after. If the surplus animals can provide an income to protect the main group then all well and good.

Because thruthfulness is obscure to them. If they dont convert enough people they go to hell, and then their wives will burn in the lake of fire because they werent there to call them up... or something like that. \n\nmaybe thats mormons.\n\nI dont know, i dont answer the door when they knock. Or if i do, i open it wide and let brutus our great dane greet them. He's usually bigger than most of them, so the fights pretty one sided. He's actually getting sort of thin, since they never come around anymore, i think he ate the last of them.

Because to accept that humans are no more than another species of animals on this planet would, in their minds, diminish our importance...\n\nThey are vain and arrogant.  They don't want to accept that we are nothing more than mammals of the great ape variety.\n\nFurthermore, they don't want to accept that this lifetime is all there is to our existence.  They are afraid, so they hide under the comfortable myths of religion.

They have their own STD. \n\nBut thinking more about your question, I would say I do not know. Because too little humans are sick zoophilics, who could try this way, no material for big generalisations. Besides they had to be bi- in certain sense, for could catch a disease afroma human nd transmit it to animal... \n\nSome theories say that HIV passed from apes, so why some viruses and microbes could not do be passed (including mutations) to animals? Really probable thing.

They are both mammals.

Any specific animal?\n\nIn general, zoos have to be very careful about inbreeding.  They keep very precise records of which animals are related to other zoo animals, and zoos often lend males to other zoos to keep the genetic diversity.\n\nAnother problem, at least with Condors, is that for a while, every condor in existence was captive bred.  They did not know how to teach their offspring to fly when released into the wild!  Only one chick has been raised in the wild by released condors and has actually flown.  All of them are still being fed on a regular basis by people, too.\n\nI know another problem in zoos is that with a limited population in a zoo (say they only have five chimps), the mothers don't learn from other chimps how to be mothers.  They don't know how to take care of their own children.  This is a huge problem with primates, but other animals as well.\n\nOk, last thing I can think of--Once the population of captive-bred animals is big enough to start releasing to the wild again, sometimes the habitat is just gone.  It's too late.  There's no opportunity to release the animals to return a viable population to the wild.  They'd all die or be killed all over again.

maybe because they are less agile than that of a smaller animal there by needing only to consume such quantity of food, and also bigger animals has the ability to conserve energy in their body......i guess

They may have been on loan from another zoo/aquarium. Zoos will loan animals out for different types of reasons. The Columbus Zoo once had an exhibit for Panadas, but they didn't stay as a permanent feature. It was just a stop on the Panda's travel list. Animals are also loaned for animal husbandry.\n\nCedar Point in Ohio used to have an exhibit with dolphins, but they no longer do. The dolphins were probably sold to another sea establishment. Marine mammals tend to be moved around a lot from aquarium to aquarium.
