captive bred
Born in enclosures
Captive bred describes animals born and raised in controlled environments rather than caught from the wild.
The term appears in pet trade discussions, conservation programs, and wildlife regulations: captive bred parrots, captive bred endangered species.
Captive breeding can preserve genetic diversity or supply demand without depleting wild populations.
