Many people think that animals in the zoo are very happy and lucky, but many of them are sad(悲伤的). Do you know why? Animals like tigers, lions and bears usually live in the forest (森林) or mountains. They run, jump, play with their children and catch small animals for food. But now they have to stay in cages or small rooms in the zoo. They do not have to find food by themselves.
