The story of this book is quite simple. The narrator sees and ad…

Captive studies on howler monkeys are particularly minimal, even though they could provide researches and zoos further information on specific behaviours, physiology and biology (Pastor-Nieto, 2014).

Supporters of captive breeding, along with zoos, proclaim that the released animals are actually acclimating well and that zoos have saved certain animals from extinction (“Captive Breeding” 69).
