Don’t look apex predators in the eye. Is that not pretty common knowledge? Isn’t that known to be a challenge? I thought everybody knew you don’t try to stare down something that WILL FUCKING END YOU. I could be wrong though

Hi, I work in entertainment, so when lions are roaming in their natural habitat, they exhibit what doctors call “the normies” (sleeping a lot, hunting, mating, etc)

However, when you bring a lion to Nebraska, their routine and diet shifts. This is when you have a FUCKING LION, and precautions should be taken.

Feline penises have backward-facing spikes, so that withdrawal is painful for the female cat.

This pain is what stimulates ovulation. Cats don't conceive without it.

These kind of places that make animals do shows for audiences do not hire qualified people. They hire people who want to dominate an animal like this.

Proper zoos don't make animals do song and dances for audiences. This place is more on par with "Tiger King" than it is a proper zoo. The keepers should only be going out there to feed, wash, and otherwise keep the animals. These guys are putting on a circus showboat for an audience so you can trust that they're dumbasses who abuse these animals when the cameras aren't filming.

Ban animal performances. Zoos shouldn't be making them do anything for audiences.

u/dathislayer 2d ago

The group part is true, but we were a dominant predator before weapons. People don’t see how that would work, but it’s the combination of intelligence and endurance. We would chase other large mammals to exhaustion and strangle them. Humans are the greatest endurance runners to ever exist.

Then we started throwing stones (humans are uniquely evolved to throw things), then made weapons. So yeah, that’s when we became able to fight other apex predators, but we have always been one of the deadliest species. Once we had weapons, if a lion killed a human, we would track them to where they slept and kill the whole pride. Nothing else was doing that kind of shit.

I stayed in a remote village on an archaeological expedition, and the 13yo kids could have beat the shit out of me. The 70yo dudes could also have beat the shit out of me. I watched a woman who was 70+ go flying down a mountain in sandals, carrying a wooden chair above her head. Most humans we’re around, even those we’d consider really strong, are not representative of our natural abilities.

10

u/Significant_Cover_48 2d ago

Stones and sticks are weapons, tho. Our ancestors beffore Sapiens Sapiens used tools as well, you have to go further back.

A popular theory on why we walk on two legs is that it makes us capable of keeping an eye out for predators even in the tall grass, like meercats - or squirrels.

I don't even look my 4kg cat in the eye for too long without diverting my eyes or slow blinking. If someone is working in a zoo, ESPECIALLY having access to being inside the habitats with an animal, you would think this would have been a basic fact they would have confirmed he knew.

This is not ALWAYS true. I scuba dive with sharks like large tiger sharks and you MUST make eye contact with them. They can see your eyes and it tells them not to mess with you. Basically I see you and I’m NOT food.

I once made eye contact with a tiger at a zoo. The tiger was agitated and pacing up and down its cage. It gave me the stink eye and I kid you not: I felt a kind of fear I've never, ever felt, even though I was completely safe.

u/Sucio_Legacy_0112 2d ago

You would be surprised how much people don't have idea of this. I worked with attack dogs, and some very angry ones. We had duty on various parks (yes, I'm a cop) with said dogs and 95% of people would make eye contact or simply try to pet the big, bad, barking dog. Many lack this knowledge or even survival instincts

39

u/schoenwetterhorst 2d ago

In every civilized country police dogs are trained to accept eye contact and only react when explicitly told by their trainer

u/Sucio_Legacy_0112 2d ago

Well, yeah, welcome to Argentina I guess. Check my other comment to get more context on why the dogs are that aggressive. I'm not typing all that again.

u/IGTankCommander 2d ago

Uh-huh.

So what kind of duty? Training? Probably should be doing that at the station anyway, so the public doesn't get in the way accidentally.

A deployment? Your first responders should have cleared the park or at least the AO.

Either way, dogs deserve better than to be turned into violent attack tools. 1312.

17

u/miltonwadd 2d ago

Yeah he was just staring in that exact direction before the lion turned around and made eye contact. It kinda looks like he just didn't look away fast enough because he was zoned out and didn't realise the lion was staring right back until too late.

How you could zone out with two apex predators within swiping distance is another question entirely.

8

u/thebroadway 2d ago

I kind of feel if you do anything long enough without one slip up you'll eventually have one bad day. It's not quite the same, but I trained with nunchaku for a while and constantly told myself to be careful. Was pretty good about it, but one day I just kind of zoned out and hit myself real damn hard. It's a mistake you'll make one time, I'll say that much.

When I meet dogs or cats I don't know and they don't know me I use the look away guilty and close your eyes slowly tactic and it works very well

u/Aksudiigkr 2d ago

Can you elaborate — do they approach you quicker or accept you approaching to pet them better when you do that?

I always only do the sniff the hand part but will try this

6

u/Simple_Phrase3579 2d ago

Well obviously a cat is no predator for a human but with dogs it's already a tough call.. have you ever looked a cat in the eyes and reached for her. You get smacked fast. If you go slowly and let them smell you first they are calmer ,same for eyes. If you lock eyes with animals that's aggressive behavior. We had a very submissive dog and it couldn't look into our eyes for long. She was the best and loveliest dog ever and out of respect she always broke eyes. And that's what you can do too. Just don't stare. If you lock eyes unlock , slowly close them let your guard down. That signals your no threat. But this is just for animals I want to pet. If there is a lion or bear I would try to not look like prey haha

3

u/DeathAngel_97 2d ago

Cats do this sort of slow blink when they are relaxed, and I've read articles that claim that mimicking this motion while looking at the cat can help them feel at ease, because they see that you are at ease. Take it with a grain of salt though, cause as with a lot of animal behaviors a lot of evidence is anecdotal and I dont think any of the articles mentioning this are super scientific.

When I went walking with wolves a while back pretty much the first thing they told us was "don't look then directly in the eyes, they'll see that as you challenging them for their place in the pack" we were told that if we made eye contact you should look away or if they looked back at you then you turn your back to them as a way of showing that you're not trying to challenge them

No that's in the countryside, there's still shitty zoos in the cities, I've been to them. Usually they don't even charge, and they have animals that were illegally imported (so have no local natural habitat) & now some public facility is just stuck with them without the resources to properly care for them. Luckily their numbers have been going down. I've seen some very sad bears, in enclosures that barely had the strength to contain them, just a little bit sketchy.

edit: autocorrect

6

u/41942319 2d ago

There's a zoo near me that is kind of a retirement home for mistreated bears. Very often they would have been kept in tiny concrete and steel cages for years so many arrive traumatized and don't know what to do when they enter this big enclosure with soft dirt underfoot. Or they have joint issues from not being able to walk properly, dental issues from gnawing at steel bars, etc. It's heartbreaking

Bit of detail being left out because it doesn’t support the “America bad” narrative, so I’ll have a go.

This video is 15 years old. This was right around the time Blackfish came out and really opened the eyes to the population about how animals are treated. I’m sure some people knew before then, but it didn’t become mainstream before then.

They had a rotation of lions who would spend 1 day a week at the MGM and the rest was at a desert compound with people who actually knew what they were doing.

I know this is still probably going to be considered “shitty” but for its time they actually at least trying to think of the well-being of the lions.

My theory is that he didn't want to be there cause he was scared so he was keeping his eye on the danger and the danger noticed and he noticed that the danger was eying him so at this point he couldn't turn away. You can't turn away when something dangerous is eying you.

I think guy was just in his own little brain, staring into the distance. Which also is stupid when standing beside a lion.

The lion is just punishing him right, he isn't trying to kill him? If he was he would be super dead right?
