But there are 1 scientists working in woods and jungles(丛林). These scientists are called " animal behaviour (行为) scientists", and they study animals as they live in nature. Why don't these scientists catch animals and study them in zoos? The 2 is in the word "behaviour". Animal behaviour scientists want to learn 3 animals behave in their wild homes. When animals live in cages or in zoos, they do not act 4 as they do in the wild. They may fight (打架) 5each other, or they may not eat, or they may not raise (抚养) their babies as they usually do.
