What do you do with "excess" animals. Petting zoo babies grow. Where do they go when mature? I truly hope not to auctions

All of our animals are cared for to the highest possible degree. While animals do grow older and are not always babies, our animals will generally spend their entire lives here under our care. Animals that are endangered or protected under Federal Laws are over seen by numerous government agencies to ensure the highest possible level of care, as well as adherance to Species Survival Plan protocols, which are outlined by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. We work closely with many other animal care facilities to make sure the species survival and overall health and comfort are the top priority. At no time, will our animals be sold or given to any organization that will not care for them and adhere to animal care guidelines.

I thought they have other zoos that they work with to give the animals the best homes.
