To keep them happy in captivity, large habitats have been made to suit there personalities.3. How do humans threaten gorillas, and what corrects the problem?Answer: Humans threaten gorillas by; cutting down rain forests which causes habitat destruction. Gorillas can’t do much about it because they usually don’t fight back. We also kill gorillas by poaching for their meat. Humans correct the problem by starting laws, so it is illegal to kill animals such as gorillas.

Caitlin’s 3 Questions For the Proboscis

Monkey 1.Why are the Proboscis Monkey becoming extinct and how can humans work together to increase the numbers?Answer: Proboscis Monkeys are becoming extinct because people are destroying their habitat so they can build houses. People used to hunt them for food, but that stopped in 2006. I think humans could help increase the numbers by taking them to a breeding zoo, or stop destroying their environment they live in.

2. What is their habitat like and what do they eat?Answer: Proboscis monkeys like to live in mangrove forests and places near fresh water and rivers. They like to eat leaves, flowers, insects, seeds and fruit.

3. How are we endangering animals?Answer: Because we think it’s all about us (for our own needs).For example; putting nets out to catch fish but we are killing dolphins, killing rainforests so we can built houses and grow food.
