Humans don't put ants in zoos because the ants overconsume their localized habitat though. A naive super intelligent agi has no reason to care if global warming makes the planet 150 degrees F on average, if it's self-interested it would surely be able to be "ok" on a planet under those conditions.

Sure, but at some point it will be asked to solve those problems and if it's not properly built, could easily arrive at that conclusion from a problem solving perspective. Self interest doesn't have to come into play at all here.
If it’s tasked with solving those problems it can also be done with constraints such as “without killing humans.”
