Why are all these animals that live in zoos under so much stress, because of being constantly watched by people who will take pictures of them, from the big number of people who will come up to the railing and yell or yell at them to do something while they sit there. Why do you think animals always sleep in their exhibits? Because they are tired? No, it's because they're bored and don't really have anything to do. Think about it, we were all children once. When it was your birthday or Christmas and we bought a new toy, we would wear it until it was no longer fun and move on with other toys or other things lying around. These animals don't get new "toys" every Christmas, they have the same toys they've had since the beginning and spent time with them and can't move on to the next toy. But these animals are not bored all the time, my family and I were at the zoo and we came across these two animals called fossa, and these two fossae were playing a game of tag where the smaller one was chasing the bigger one and we stallions we stood there for a good ten minutes watching these pits chase each other and then we left and it was the best part of the zoo ever
