Zoos, Circuses, Safaris: A Gallery of Captivity

[Hello]

@Lycaon yes they've stopped but remaining very minor impure strains (They are saying they are Asiatic) are circulating in zoo circuit but there are no problems with Bengals.@Rishi  knows more.Same case goes to white bengals in Europe(They are interbred with Amurs),zoo named Amneville in france breeds white bengals and also works under WAZA,EZA Reply

[Hello]

I would say very minute in numbers for hybrids and most Indian zoos has purebred Asiatics Reply

Somehow captive jaguars are much more robust than their wild counterparts in general. Reply

I disagree, captive jaguars that I have seen in person normally lack the muscle definition that their wild counterparts have because they don't get as much exercise. These ones are an exception because the sanctuary they are in constantly puts them to the test to build healthy weight. Jaguars, in general, have a robust build with a thick chest and huge jaws. 

Here are some examples of four wild Argentinian jaguars for you to compare:

It's not close, the wild Jaguars are far more robust.
I will give Jaguarsintothewild credit though, I've said it before. He does a fantastic job at taking a hands off approach with his cats and giving them a ton of enrichment while never getting them used to humans so one day he can possibly release them back.
All his cats look absolutely fantastic. Reply
