Life for these animals is a mere shadow of what it was in the wild. What does the author mean by this sentence? Use two details from the excerpt to support your response.

The author wanted to say that in captivity, animals are not able to have the variability of stimuli they had in their natural habitats, being therefore obliged to live a monotonous and empty life, walking in criculos, without the freedom of the natural habitat.

Explanation:

You forgot to say that this question is about the article "Marine Mammals in Captivity," where we are introduced to arguments that show that it is impossible to meet all the needs of wild animals in captivity, forcing them to live an unhappy and limited life. The author addresses this, using whales and dolphins that have been removed from their natural habitat to serve as attractions in the parks. In this case, the author states that in captivity, these animals lose all freedom and variability that they had in their natural homes. Captivity seeks to reproduce the natural habitat, but fails to provide a happy life for the animal, which is obliged to walk, or swim, in this case, in endless circles, within eternal monotony.

We can confirm this when the author states "In a tank, the environment is monotonous and limited in scope" and "These animals, who are perpetually aware, have nothing like the varied stimulation of their natural environment. In perpetual motion, they are forced into literally endless circles. "
