The reason why the tamarins live better when there in the forest because they grew up there their whole life and it would be a lot easyer. Here's a quote when the zoo keepers said,"It is harder to go in the forest from a zoo".

I think that the tamarins are better born in the wild because they will all ready have the experience from there mom and dad. Also, the ones that are put in after being at the zoo don't no what to ddo if a animal tries to eat them. Heres a "QUOTE" from the book "When they said that the tamarins that have lived in the zoo are put in the wild are most likely 7 out of 10 are going to die. So that means 3 of them are going to live.

I for got to put the Quote at the end of the sentence "
Theres the quote.

I think that tamarins that are born in the wild do better than the ones in zoos because they know what to do better because they have been in the wild longer. Here's a quote from the story. "These animals who live in the zoo do not have skill to live in the wild.

I think they are better because they are trayned and recinicies more about the forest and things that are in the forest.Heres a "quote" from page 633 the tamarinsare fed by food that they hange up heigh cloosed to the nesting box.

Well I think that tamarins that are born in the wild are not better than tamarins that return to the rain forest. Why, because the ones that return get to like work for the food in the feeders. Also the ones that are born is the don't know how to catch food. Heres a "qoute" from the story on page 630. " Micos" she whispers to the children.

I think that Golden Lion Tamarins would live better in the wild because, when they are born in the wild they have better survival skills and are good at evading things. But, when they are captured and taken into the zoo, they would not be used to the wild anymore and get used tono danger at all.

Tamarins that are born in the wild and taken in captivity to a zoo do better in the wild because the zoo is almost like a training camp to them to get ready for the wild so they won't die out or go excticnt from hunters or predators by eating them. Here's a quote from the story,"When the first Europeans arrived, they cut down the trees to build their homes and towns. They burned the rest of the forest to clear the land for settlements, coffee and sugar plantations, and for pastures on which to graze livestock."

Golden Lion Tamarins that are born in the wild do better because they know the necessary skills to fend for themselves. Here is an example from the story from page 640, "Alone, a newly reintroduced tamarin can die of starvation, become injured, or fall prey to a predator."

i think becuse they are the best animals in the world and they are very colered and that is good but yes they should stay at the wild becuse when they probely pick them up they will bite you and how are you going to set a trap for the tamarins becuse they can go really high and then how are you going to set a trap for them now a qoute a young tamarin pokes its head out of the box, looks around, and squeals. then the other golden heads appear to take a look. after some tentative moves, the juvenile darts out to the feeder, pokes into it and stuffs food into its mouth

I think Tamarins that born in the wild are bettter than tamarins that retun in the rain forest because the tamarins that live in the wild are already use to get there own food and to be beware of pedators. However, the tamarins that return from the rain forest need to be training to get use to the wild because they are use to people giving them food and relaxing. Heres a quote from page 640 where it says "Because tamarins have always eaten chopped fruit, they dont know how to peel whole fruit."

I think that the Golden lion tamrins that were born in the wild are raised to take care of them selves. when they are grown they know how to jump from tree to tree but when they are born in captivity it is diffrent they dont know how to feed them selves but they make feeders for the tamrins. 'Qoute' Today golden lion tamrins are bred in many zoos around the WORLD!.

I think that the Tamarins that are born in the wild have a better chance of survival that the ones being reintroduced. I think this because the Tamarins in captivity are feed food by a trainer and they don’t have to worry about predators. Also, they have poles to jump on to that don’t react to their weight. Plus, Tamarins that are being reintroduced have to learn to survive in the wild, stay away from prey, get their own food, and even learn to jump on branches that sway.

I think tamarins are better when they are born in the wild because they know how to hunt for food in the wild. Animals that were born in the zoo will not know how to find food and/or they could get eaten by other animals because they haven’t been to the wild before here is a quote from the story in page 641 “When the tamarins begin to forage and eat natural foods, the observers reduced their visits to three times a week, then to once a week, and finally to once a month. When the tamarins become independent, all feeding is stopped.”

I think that the Golden Lion Tamarins are better of staying in the forest because they will remember the ways of the forest and not get used to the zoo ways. In the zoo they have life so easy, but when they are in the forest, they have to learn how to hunt for food and stay away from predators. In the zoo all that they have to do is sit, eat, and do tricks.

I think golden lion tamarins do better when they are born in the wild because they are naturaly aware of predators, but when they are in zoos they do not have to watch for predators. When they get put in the wild they are not aware of predators and can get eatin. Here is a quote from the story "Beyond the cages stalk their predators, which they must learn to avoid."

I think that tamarins born in the wild do better than tamarins who return to the rain forest after living in captivity because tamarins in the wild know the dangers while captivated ones don't because they have lived in cages all their lives. Also, think about it if we were endagered and we had to be in a cage all our lives not in our natural habitat and were all the sudden put back in our original habitat would we just be able to snap on to exactly how to live. While the tamarins that live in the wild have lived there all their lives and know how to live in that life style and know what to eat and what isn't safe. Here is a "quote" from the story to support my ansewer. " It has never leaped from a vine top a delicate tree branch that sways under its weight. It doesn't know how to forage for food. It hasn't expirienced wheather changes cold, rain, thunder, and lightning. It would be killed by a preditor or get lost and starve. It needs the help of humans and native born tamarins to learn to survive indipendant dently in its original habitat."

I think tamarins born in the wild have a better chance of surviving because it is their native habibtat and they won't have to change their way of living as the tamarins born in captivity would have to adapt to the rain forest. Here is a quote to support my answer "Alone, a newly reintrouduced tamarin can die of starvation, become injured, or fall prey to a predator."

I think that the Golden Lion Tamarins are better of staying in the forest because they will remember the ways of the forest and not get used to the zoo ways. In the zoo they have life so easy, but when they are in the forest, they have to learn how to hunt for food and stay away from predators. In the zoo all that they have to do is sit, eat, and do tricks. “ everything is different: the heat, the tall trees, the noises.”

I think that the golden lion will live better in the wild becuase theyb will get use to the forest and will know how to survive and how to get food. Here is a quote from the story to suport my opinion "These animals who live in the zoo do not have skill to live in the wild."

I think the golden lion tamarins are better off liveing in the wild because instead of being in the zoo being in the wild will give them more skills to live in the wild because they will know how to get there own food and protect them self's from danger. Quote:As the months go by, the feeder is placed on saplings that will sway when the tamarins leasp onto them.

The reason it is harder for tamarin’s to live in the wild when they weren't born there is because they learn the way life goes on early in your life if they were born there. If you weren't born there, it is harder for the tamarin’s to adapt to the habitat and that means they have a slim chance of surviving. Here is a quote from page 640,” Alone, a newly reintroduced tamarin can die of starvation, become injured, of fall pray to a predator.”

The tamarines that were born in the wild were doing better because they know the forest way more then the ones that return to the forest. The tamarins that lived in the zoo don't know the what the forest is like because the zoo is way more safe then the wild because the tamarines get their food served and no preditors go after them in the zoo. "That way, human beings and tamarines will be to share the Brazilian landscape for years to come."

I think that the Tamarins born in the wild will be born to know how to already live in the wild. The one who were in captivity and going to the rain forest will have a harder time getting use to the wild because they lived the life of luxury of being sheltered from sever weather, having food given to them, and being in a safe environment away from predators.

#26 said...

I think tamarins born in the wild do better than tamarins who return to the wild, because they were born there so they are used to the way of life. Also tamarins from the zoo are used to zoo life not wildlife. "These animals do not have the skills to survive in the wild on their own."

#15 said...

I think gold lion tamarins shoud be living in zoo's because they have many ways to die in the forest snakes, spiders,posinus food. If they are in zoo's they won't have to worry about any predators or anything that will try to hunt them for food here is a quote from the story, it shows them trying to train them a little bit better for the wild so they can stay away from predators. Those are the reasons why I think gold lion tamarins shoud be kept in zoo's all the time so they will be safe.

I think tamarins born in the wild do better than the ones in captivity that return to the wild. I think this because the ones born in the wild are used to everything they face in the rain forest. Here is a quote from page 636 that supports my answer, “Everything is different: the heat, the tall trees, the noises.”

#22 said...

I think tamarins that were born in the wild live beatter in the wild than tamarins that are born in captivity. I think this is because they know what to do and what to avoid. They can swing in trees that might sway from their weight because they are used to it. Here is a quote from the story,"Today tamarins are bred in zoos these animals do not have the skills to surve in the rain forest on their own."

The reason why golden lion tamarins that were born in the wild are better than the ones that where tooken into captivity, is because the ones that wher born in the forest know all the predators and how to go from tree to tree and know where the food is. the new born ones dont know were the food is people have to build nest and feedersb for them.

I think tamarins that are born in the wild survive better than the one's born in captivity. I think this because they know how to survive the forest and know their predators. Here's a quote from the story,"The animals born in zoos do not have the skills to live in the forest."

They do better in the wild, because they where born in the wild so there habitat is the forest and the ones that where born in a zoo are not use to there predators like humans. Humans in the zoo bring them food and humans in the wild capture them and sell them for a very high price. Also, they are use to people bring them food in a bowl and in the wild they have to search for food and some animals eat them and the ones that are raised in the forests now to stay away from them and the ones raised in the zoo don’t now that they eat them. Here's a quote from page 637,” The pieces of food are then stuffed into feeders made of plastic tubes wired together to make a square, with holes drilled along the tubes.

I think that tamarins born in the wild do better than tamarins who return to the rain forest after living in captivity because the baby tamarins born in the zoo are used to showing people what they can do and having everything done for them. Tamarins born in the rain forest are adapted to the swaying trees, getting food for themselves, and staying away from predators. A quote from page 632 is, "Today golden lion tamarins are bred in many zoos around the world. These animals do not have the skills to survive in the wild on their own."

#32 said...

I think it is because the ones who have lived in captivity are used to humans being around to feed them and do everything for them and the ones who are born in the forest are better because they have to learn by themselves. Here's a quote " Ropes are hung to stimulate vines and to provide a network of treetop highway for the monkey.”

I think that tamarins in the zoo is better idea then in the wild because when the tamarins are little they don’t know who is their predators. Here’s a quote from the story, “The tamarins will get to know their potential prey, such as the insects and small reptiles and mammals that scoot in and out of their cages. I connected this quote to how the tamarins live in a nesting box and the predators come and try to get them so the tamarins get to know who their preadators are.

I think the tamarins born in the wild do better than the ones in captivity because they have stayed there long enough to know the place and they know there surroundings, how to survive, and portect their selves from predators. Here's a qoute from the story," Some are killedby Africanized, or "killer," bees, which sometimes take over a nesting box to make a hive."

No I think that Tamarins in the wild do worst than Tamarins that are brought into captivity. I think this because wild Tamarins don't know very much about the wild. Here is a quote from the story to support my answer “This is when Tamarins need the most help”.
