Well, one thing you need to know...Any of you learned animal behaviour? I took a course on it (so am no expert but we studied different animals no tigers though)
The case here was
She was from the wild living in the wild while the one in 1st post has been living at home since she was a cub
Both had cubs so hormones are high....However, the one in the 1st post has been a mother before (as the opening post states) and she saw her previous cubs were never in danger....
While the one in the video was in the wild always on alert, and only god knows if the villagers had ever hurt her as a child or her mom....Animals get childhood traumas too ....
Main difference is the treatment each got throughout their life!
No.10 looks stupid and if you notice the lion was only interested in harming the new comer not his trainer....god knows what the new comer smelled like! - something he ate? his clothes smell funny....many different factors!
That too a lion of a zoo....
According to animal behaviours, animals in cages do have different responses to those who are allowed some freedom....they suffer more stress....hence birthrate is low...THIS is also why we hear CHEERY news when a baby is born in captivity coz it is rare and difficult!
In fact, when a different lion takes over the pride and if the females of the pride are pregnant with the old alpha's babies their body gets them aborted (read it in my text books no idea how they figured it out) because the new alpha will kill the babies and will chase away the young male....
So basically there is a system....and videos of wild animals vs a cub raised in doors are different...Heck you can see clear difference between a stray cat and one raised at home (usually lazy and trying to qabza the carpet or sofa)
even in video 9 the lioness came to help
Well the lion was attacking 1 trainer and not the other...didnt even jump at him too...we didnt see what the attacked trainer did or maybe he smelled like meat...THAT usually is dangerous
Video 8 was similar....attacking 1 guy only ...why not attack the groups?
video 7 attacking a hunter is from adrenaline again this one is lion from the wild sooo different story...
video 6 attacking a trainer with a whip is something ANY animal even a home dog would do forget a circus LION
video 5 was a little funny...
video 4 : on a leash with flashes everywhere? WOW!! That was just asking for it! And well in the end it just ran didnt
video 3: Well even the lion wasnt convinced of the preaching....honestly wth was the preacher trying to do? Lion surely blew his cover!
In none of the videos they didnt beat other people, they didnt finish the job....DO you know a lion is capable of finishing the job.....esp if he wants to ...
Then there is a vast difference between captive animals and wild ones....Instincts for wild ones are high...For those in captives if they newly moved in well they are bound to be edgy!
As for the circus ones...well no animal likes to be shown the whip esp not the king of the jungle!
Read abit about animal behaviour it is interesting....Not all cases can be painted with 1 brush...
Lolz my friend used to come over to cut my kitten's nails.....I agree it is dangerous but I still stand by what I say....each situation is different but saying a lion will turn at you in minutes is likely a myth until and unless you hurt it or pose a threat or smell like raw meat or something it wants too...
Actually for feline it is a little different...I mean I might not trust a hyena then again not much studies have been done on hyenas!
Captive animals do behave differently they experience more stress ....Another problem can be a new cage, new environment, nervous, anxiety, didnt get fed well, mishandled, bad experience with humans, threatened.... (of course no one will report these )
I think I saw it....cant recall though...
My sis did her thesis trapping small forest mammals....and I helped a bit not much as it was too much work and way in the forest at odd nights...Her colleague worked with camera traps in the jungle to capture wild cats on camera ....was interesting ....
My colleague had a project on bats and I went with her for the training ...bat trapping at 2am
Though we worked on fruit bats and it was interesting to set up traps and then come back next day to check and take DNA samples ...
While in animal behaviour course we worked on mice - mother mice and her baby's habits we observed smelly stuff, shifted the babies to see mom's reaction and study that...We also studied monkey and human reaction in a recretional park...Man that was scary esp when alpha male came to scare us and once I saw it jumping on someone's car...Nasty greedy one!
These are hands on experiences in the wild....Ahhh life was good then I switched fields
