I think the monkey's selfie should have been included.

They are all beautiful apart from that poor frightened Tiger in the cage, that is not beautiful at all 😞

The Seahorse with the cotton bud shows what **bleep** we put in to the Sea, now that has a message

The tiger lost a leg and needs to be brought up in a zoo.

[***super_nova***]

Yes, it has lost leg because it was caught in a snare.  Just because it is missing a leg it does not mean it has to spend its life in small cage.  😞

many animals can run and have fun even when the lost 2 legs

Oh come on....a wild tiger with three legs?   How long do you think it would last in the wild.

Life in a zoo would be preferable to a few hours in the wild surely.

Some animals can adapt to the loss of a limb but they are not likely to wild animals who have to hunt for their food.

maybe a place like monarto zoo here in south oz, able to roam freely but not 'in the wild' as such.

but also maybe a 3 legged tiger would get attacked by other tigers? so would need a area to themselves.
