      Generally not without reason no – anytime animals move it is either migration or dispersion away from old territory, all which have a purpose.

      Of course, when humans take them for zoos and circuses that’s another thing entirely…!

      I don’t know of any that leave by choice if their environment is suitable with plenty of food for them, actually some of them can be taken away from their environment and move elsewhere and then find their way back to their original territory, so when animals are relocated they are often taken a great distance so they cannot find their way back.
