Animals who were once fit to live in the wild, their natural habitat, have become accustomed to captivity. They have lost their natural instincts and are no longer able to adapt to the wild. …show more content…

This means that there will be multiple animals who do not have the ability to fend for themselves and the wild population then must take care of them. If this occurs, the resources that the wild population has will dwindle and more effort will be required to “restock.” Finally, if a species is becoming endangered due to natural selection, species reintroduction will not save the population. Dying through natural selection shows a lack of fitness. Capturing them, allowing the population to grow, then releasing them back into the wild will ultimately result in the initial situation. The issue is fitness, which has remained the same, or due to captivity, possibly
