=Culling in Zoos= Many zoos join an international breeding programme to maintain a viable population and prevention of inbreeding. Animals that can no longer contribute to the breeding programme are less desirable and are often replaced by those that are. Sometimes a zoo kills an animal, if it can not find another place for the animal.

Among zoos females tend to be more desirable than males. One explanation is that the males can contribute to the birth of many young ones in a short period, while the females have to carry pregnancy. Another explanation is that birth of a baby animal draws an increased public interest.
