I remember this story, it happened in the SF zoo. 3 teenagers (17 yrs) provoked the female tiger by throwing sticks, pine cones, and other objects at her. This pissed off tiger did a 25ft vertical leap (from the bottom of the moat), and got enough purchase at the top where she clawed asphalt to get to the teens. I remember the zoo keeper said that they found it odd that after the tiger killed it's prey, she left it and followed the blood trail of the other 2 victims. She bypassed the boar enclosure as well, which suggests that the animal was NOT interested in the humans as a food source. Sadly she was dispatched by police officers. There were no security cameras and no eye witnesses as this was done close to closing time. The teens insisted they didnt throw anything at the tigers, but one of the parents told police they kids admitted to being drunk while yelling and waving at the animal. The zoo settled with the families for $1m.

I worked at the giraffe habitat at my zoo when I was in high school. Our zoo had a strict policy that absolutely no one was allowed in the enclosure with them. For cleaning and feeding, the boys were moved to another paddock in the back that were locked for the duration that keepers were in there. Vet visits and weigh ins were conducted from the outside whenever possible by encouraging the giraffe to step into a smaller corral with a scale. Beyond necking, giraffe have crazy powerful legs and hooves the size of dinner plates. They can kick their legs out on all sides and you're liable to literally lose your head if a hoof connects with it. There's a reason why deaths from predation are almost exclusive to juveniles.

[@mwperk02]

The only time I've ever heard of a healthy adult giraffe being killed is from an entire lion pride including the big male all pouncing on it. Even then it very nearly killed several of the lions and took over an hour to go down where the lions could actually get near it's vital areas.

Another time the lions and tiger got into a shouting match, and let me say that hearing a lion or a tiger but not being able to see it, is absolutely terrifying even when you know that you're safe. Biggest downside of going to the zoo in the winter is that leaving the herpetarium is like getting slapped with a slab of ice.

The funny thing is, humans still retain some of the qualities of animals, the human brain is capable of differentiating a smile that is genuine and is about positivity but if we were to look at a smile of a person for a little too long then we'd feel uncomfortable. Even staring at each other's eyes for far too long is also capable of making people scared or threatened; try staring at someone that you don't know or heck even someone you know, at one point you two would start to feel uncomfortable.

Experts who have observed a video of the woman and Bokito noted that he showed a “vertical bare teeth” face, which is something male gorillas do to greet their females. It is very likely he DID like her, and her smile, prolonged eye-contact, and regular visits actually made him seggsually frustrated - she basically showed interest in *mating* with him but kept walking away. His behaviour (him attacking her) is actually something male gorillas do to a female who doesn’t want to mate. Humans are just more fragile than gorillas, and male silverback gorillas tend to have about 200kg of muscle mass alone, so she got really hurt (a female gorilla would have been severely less injured) So yeah, big chance he didn’t want to kill her.

The inward angle fencing shall be made of the same material as the vertical fencing. Wet or dry moats may be substituted for the required fencing provided ZAA written approval has been obtained." That said... Especially pissed off and exemplary specimens can jump up to heights of 16 ft.

This is because zoos know that people coming in can (successfully) sue by saying an expected part of the zoo experience is that they would be safe no matter what they do while outside the exhibits. Legally my original comment is 100% true, and the cases shown in the video prove it. It doesn’t matter if the zoo meet regulations or not.

At that age, only certain things lead to death, in their minds (i.e. being really old, cancer/illness, guns, direct contact with large dangerous animal, etc.)...not rule breaking. Had he known that anyone within a several meter range of a sleeping bear will still almost instantly die...but what kid thinks of that?

Whoooo that reminds me of something. So here in Hungary we have 1 main zoo in Budapest. The others are.... negligible. So it has a bunch of crocs. Like a needless amount, or at least had. And the Crocodile enclosure was basically a big, deep hole with a pond and stuff under it, and the way you would look at it is by walking above it on a small, circular wooden bridge. Great right? Yeah, the bridge was a not-so-sturdy wooden bridge with nonexistent railings ( it was 2 poles connected with 2 pieces of wood every 1 meter) and nothing else between you and the crocs, and it was one hell of an experience, because if you fell, you fell right into the crocodile lake. It's better now, they have a big glass cube with crocs in the middle so you can walk around it, it has 2 floors, 1 under water level and 1 above it. But It's in the works again for another change.

As a zookeeper myself I just want to say this video is pure gold. And in regards to people who act like idiots in zoos and potentially put themselves and others at risk, just know that behind the zookeepers’ practiced smiles are some very sincere ‘fuck you’ thoughts. Just because the zoo representatives have to remain professional and politically correct in the face of that idiocy, don’t think we don’t hate you more than Satan sitting on a throne made of dead puppies. Not only do you add stress to our jobs when you muck with enclosure boundaries or taunt animals, but you put our animals’ lives at risk, since inexplicably we have to prioritise your life in a life-or-death situation, and it will often fall on us to kill our animals in order to protect someone who shouldn’t have been represented in the gene pool to begin with. We see our animals pretty much every day of our lives and theirs, we spend more time with them than with our own families, we are responsible for their care and wellbeing, and we form very close bonds with each individual, so believe me when I say that if you have ever needed saving from one of these situations the zookeepers almost certainly wanted to just leave you in there to deal with the consequences of your dumbass actions. If a keeper has had to shoot an animal that they worked with for several years in order to protect an idiot who couldn’t comprehend that barriers exist for a reason, I can assure you they would have rather turned the gun on you.

Yeah. I can imagine. Unfortunately, you can’t fix stupid, and the (relatively) innocent animals pay the price for it.

@@deanmartin7924 that’s a pretty broad generalisation to make about someone you don’t know. In all honesty it depends on the animal and the human in question. Do I care more about a random dog or cat than my own mother? No. Do I care more about an animal that I work with pretty much every day of my life than a random stranger? Yes. It has more to do with the relationships to the individuals. You see, my dear Dean, some of us aren’t restrained by this idea that life is somehow more precious simply because it belongs to those of our own species, (and for no other reason besides that) and so we value life in all its forms.

I was working at the Pittsburgh zoo when that happened and I was supposed to work that day. Thanks to it being a suspected slow day I was sent home early and it happened a short time after I left

I ❤ your channel! You present this stuff in such a way that I will definitely visit again and share the channel!

Why do people think polar bears aren't deadly, I blame coca-cola. They're one of the few animals who will view humans as potential prey without being desperate.

[@janstraka8674]

Well being the biggest land predator that can murder anything it sees kinda negates the fear of humans.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

I would predict that these idiots figured the zoo animals had either learned not to mess with humans, or that zoo keepers/security are ready to tranquilize them, or some thing along these lines.

[@fiiredark]

Actually, polar bears are constantly desperate for food because it’s so scarce where they live. That’s why they‘re one of the few animals that will prey on us gross tasting humans. They’re known to eat any “food” they can find because starving to death is a perpetual threat. So it’s a behavior that’s just hard wired into them and you’re basically right anyway.
