The difference between the two habitats is that the one in Asia is a little hotter 86°F, while in Miami is usually 82°F. Also the Elephants in Asia are free and have more roaming space but have a higher chance to get hunted. While the Elephant in the zoo has all of the natural resources its on a much smaller scale. But its a good thing that people are putting in the effort to preserve the animals that may become extinct

Dear Miami metro zookeepers, There are couple animals that endangered, critically endangered, or becoming extinct in the continent of Asia. The animals that I am most concerned of are the Asiatic lion, Javan rhino, Sumatran rhino, giant panda, Asiatic cheetah and Asiatic black bear. You need to save couple Asiatic lion, because they are being poached by humans since the arms became a widespread and about 523 remaining lions in Gir forests, they need a good habitat in the zoo to settle down and give them plenty of food for them to eat. You need to save the Javan and Sumatran rhino because less than 60 of the Javan rhinos are declining and losing their habitats. Same thing goes with Sumatran rhino which is also becoming extinct. Both of these rhinos need to have the same habitat in the zoo as the Greater one horned rhino is, with good areas, a pool to cool and drink, and food to eat. The giant panda is another endangered animal you need to save, because most of their population in china is declining, because of their threats and the human population is increasing. the panda need a good habitat in the zoo in Asian territory with abundant of bamboo trees planted for their diet, and a pool of water to drink and cool from the hot sun. The Asiatic black bear must also be saved because of humans that are hunting them, give them a good home at the zoo with food and water to keep in good conditions. The Asiatic cheetah is also got to be saved because it is critically endangered from being hunted by humans and loosing their habitat. Give them a good habitat in the zoo with food and a pool for drinking and cooling. And please make the puma cage bigger because its to small and it needs more rocks to climb and more space to run some of the pens are to small for some animals thank you for your time
