I did a project on the lifespan of elephants compared from in and out of zoos and how the temperature of the zoo affects their lifespan. I also looked into how captivity affects their lifespan. The findings were not small and shocked me very much. I looked into the hypothesis that elephants in colder zoos would live shorter. I researched this topic and found that elephants' lives can be shortened by more than double in colder region zoos. Even zoos with very similar temperatures to the elephants' home countries live shorter because they do not do so well in captivity. I think that people should definitely consider how our means of entertainment can affect animals' lives.
