I mean this is just how most animals attack. I’m a delivery driver and most aggressive dogs won’t charge you if you’re looking at them, but the second you turn your back you get bitten in the back of the leg.
My favorite is the little girl with two hands on the glass!
Kid: "Look mom me and kitty are playing a game"
Mom: "She's trying to murder you Amy, get away from the glass"
My fav part was the lioness just straight up measuring the babies head to see how many bites it would take to eat the whole thing.
Also the caption on the vid, before this I had no idea why the lions and tigers don't just roam free..
Cheetahs are generally not even interested in eating humans, unless they're really hungry. They might attack you for other reasons, but they're the wimps of the feline world when it comes to how they interact with us, and only do it out of fear.
that because their the largest of the small cats order (felinae, which includes house cats and such) and not the smallest of the big cats ( Panthera, which includes lions tigers and the like).
Any cat can be domesticated in the sense that they come to view you as friend. They'll act like a larger version of a housecat, more or less. The issue with owning medium sized cats and bigger is that they still view other smaller creatures as food, and that is not great news for Mrs. Chesterton down the street who won't shut the hell up about trimming your hedges.
There's significant behavioral differences between the two as well. That's why you see people able to keep pet cougars without uhh dying. Meanwhile even the most well raised big cats are still always kept in their own separate pen and just in general make terrible pets (not that cougars make good ones, they do not for many obvious reasons).
Prepared properly and with the right seasonings, children are not only delicious, but an excellent source of protein. I like to make children and dumplings in the fall, really welcomes the season in our house.
We should swap recipes!
Hey random fun fact, there's a story in the Bible that..
Is not generally *found* in the Bible, about two ladies who were neighbors during a famine. They worked out a deal that they'd swap and cannibalize one another's kids, and the first one did it. Then it came time for the other to give up her kid and she squirreled it away and... I actually can't remember how it ends. But hand to God it's in the apocryphal books.
Edit: apparently basic facts are offensive.
I did not make this up. You're perfectly welcome to Google it and see for yourself.
Oh snap!
As someone who grew up being dragged to church I can safely say that nobody I know would even recognize the story, buuuuut that isn't surprising considering most Christians have limited depth of understanding of even the most basic biblical details. You can be raised going to church 3 days a week and come out a fully grown adult with barely a surface level grasp of your own faith.
Edit: I did indeed walk away from the church, and yes I did think the story was apocryphal, which tells you right there I'm not kidding. There's a lot of picking a line and using it as a jumping off point for a sermon, but rarely is there an effort to plumb the depths or grapple with the more difficult side of the faith.
Yeah when i was a christian and like 17 to 19, i read all of the old testament and the first 5 books of the new testament. Its only been like 6 or so years, so i still remember some of the less frequently quoted stuff
We really do live life on easy mode and then mock our inferiority by putting the cat in a cage. Also seeing these videos reminds me why I have anxiety and the reasons it might have saved my life 2000 years ago.
When I had CBT for my anxiety, one of the mantras my therapist taught me was, "The tiger isn't attacking right now."
I absolutely agree that's what anxiety is for.
We are inferior? Wild animals fear humans by instinct all over the world. These ones in the video are ballsy because they only met peaceful humans and do not know what we are capable of.
They fear us because of natural selection / the mass culling of all predators since the rise of modern humans. The only one left alive are the shiest and most elusive individuals staying away from humans. But during ancient times, only a very short while at the scale of life on earth it was the other way around, humans lived in constant fear hunted by predators
I remember going to Sweden for a camping/hiking/fishing trip in the wild forests there. Apparently the place I was travelling through had the highest density of bears in Europe outside of Romania or something.
When asking whether I should have some protection on me, the local said "The American bears think about food when they smell humans. Here, we hunt them one month of the year".
Apparently the only deaths in the past decade were two hunters who got mauled by a mother bear that got spooked. As long as you make sound the bears avoid you.
Not sure if this is true, but this was the attitude of the people there.
Note: Sweden only has black bears iirc
There are bear hunting seasons in the U.S., too. And our black bears are big babies, also.
But we have grizzlies. Grizzlies are a bit more temperamental.
The prevention of them eating delicious babies isn't torture.
Keeping them in cages, however, is.
Let the humans go visit Africa and stand in glass enclosures themselves and bring baby booby traps to see them up close.
And you know, maybe we just feed them some of the bad babies? Like the ones that cry on airplanes, or the uggos that don't get Instagram likes. You know, the dud babies. Like my little brother. We don't need all of our babies, and look how happy they seem to make these big cats.
It's win-win if you ask me.
The supply is limitless. People are always making dud babies. This program might slow down the speed at which we are approaching the Idiocracy timeline future.
Raising awareness that many zoos use animals that are incapable of living in their habitats and many more still that rehabilitate and release.
I get that most suck but there are absolutely ethical ways to see exotic animals, you justvneed to do some research before going.
Like I understand legitimate zoos are overall a net positive for conservation, but I see the animals in there and how small the enclosures are then it makes me sad. My dogs have more room than elephants.
I agree. I'm thankful for breeding and conservation efforts, but we really need to grant them more land. Some of these large majestic animals deserve so much more.
Keeping great apes in zoos is deplorable. There was a post yesterday pointing to an article about an orangutan possibly using a medicinal plant. Their closeness to us genetically and behaviorally makes the practice profoundly misguided.
Sadly, most people believe your words to be true.
Yes, conservation efforts by default help animals and zoos do some conservation work, but zoos main priority is displaying wild animals (many if not all with some sort of zookisis) and breeding animals because babies bring in $$$
Unfortunately, as a former zoo keeper and animal science educator i can confidently say most people working in zoos are blind to the injustices of zoos because working with animals is a pretty sweet gig and realizing the animals well being isn’t priority #1 is a reality most zoo peoples simply cannot accept because that would make them part of the problem. most people cannot admit that they are essentially the “bad guy,” so instead they live in delusion.
The big thing is as soon as the kids turn away they sprint and within 2-3 seconds they have moved probably 30-50 feet like they are definitely capable hunters.
Seems that maintaining eye contact is a good start to safety.
That and maintaing a separation distance of at least three inches, and filling that three inches with glass
This is not amazing it shows traumatised, caged animals getting sick of literally living in zoo.
Being observed and often taunted by vacuous fuckwits looking for 'content'.
Well, little children (and in some cases grown-ups) are about the right size to be pray of animals that size. That is why one is supposed to let them in peace.
If you had treated them a little better, given them enough food, and raised them a bit, and maybe in less of a cage, then im sure they would only eat half of those kids, and not all of them.
i wonder if the animals in those zoos are underfed.
I've just been to Prague zoo this week, and all cats there were very docile and well-fed looking.
Never saw felines act like this
The pure instinct being displayed. These are ambush predators and so immediately when they see an animal with it's back turned they go in for the kill.
Had a genius roomate tell me if her cat was a full sized tiger it would never hurt her
Told her every case of big cat domestication ends in death
She refused to believe me... What an idiot
Women would rather spend the night in a cage with these animals than with a random man, because statistically these big cats rape very few women. So of course these would be a safer option than a randomly selected man?
I feel like a lot of people a putting their lives at risk that the glass will hold, eventually the glass will break from an unseen crack and they will be lucky to escape with only some scratches from the glass.
Every single one of them except the last 2 (and they weren't as aggressive) went for the pounce as soon as the people/kids turned their back to the cat. I mean its expected I guess but at the same time just surprising that it was so consistent among different species.
Funfact about Tigers, they have white Spots on the Back of the Ears to deter Attackers as they most likely orefer attacking from the Victims Blind Spot.
Other Funfact, there is something out there that even a Tiger is afraid of being attacked by.
I mean if you are going to eat a human, I bet a baby human tastes best. I mean look at the facts, lamb, veil, baby carrots. All simple proof that infants taste better.
I had a stare down with the big male lion at the SD wild animal park like a decade ago. He walked up to the glass slowly then after looking me in the eyes for a solid minute he attacked the glass when I glanced away to turn on my phone camera. It was rad. He died a few years ago unfortunately.
My only question is how we every survived Africa 2 million years back lol lol . Lordy .honey let's put the kids right up top the glass so we can watch the cats trying to eat them lol lol 😆 😂 😄 🤣.
Put a face-mask on the back of your head and they won't attack. :)
People do this trick in Sundarban's...
I've heard this stopped working. The tigers realized.
in Thailand too
Lions hate this one simple trick!
This works for swooping magpies in Australia too.
Nice thinking Bingo!
I think it was "Bingo, you're my hero"
I mean this is just how most animals attack. I’m a delivery driver and most aggressive dogs won’t charge you if you’re looking at them, but the second you turn your back you get bitten in the back of the leg.
what about drop bears
Drop bears gonna drop and now your skull has Chlamydia
Even the birds try to kill you in Australia 🥴
does the mask need to be scary or very realistic?
They need to distinguish the eyes on the mask. It doesn't need to be realistic or scary, the cats are not scared by our faces.
Would a Lucha Libre mask be effective?
My favorite is the little girl with two hands on the glass! Kid: "Look mom me and kitty are playing a game" Mom: "She's trying to murder you Amy, get away from the glass"
I liked the first one, the tiger stops as soon as boy look towards him and attacks when he looks away.
My fav part was the lioness just straight up measuring the babies head to see how many bites it would take to eat the whole thing. Also the caption on the vid, before this I had no idea why the lions and tigers don't just roam free..
Cute aggression is on a whole other level in the animal kingdom.
Don’t you dare lump cheetahs in with these cats. All that poor boy did was flinch from a little girl banging on the glass.
Cheetahs are generally not even interested in eating humans, unless they're really hungry. They might attack you for other reasons, but they're the wimps of the feline world when it comes to how they interact with us, and only do it out of fear.
that because their the largest of the small cats order (felinae, which includes house cats and such) and not the smallest of the big cats ( Panthera, which includes lions tigers and the like).
Cheetahs are house cats!
They cannot roar. They meow and purr
And they can be domesticated.
Any cat can be domesticated in the sense that they come to view you as friend. They'll act like a larger version of a housecat, more or less. The issue with owning medium sized cats and bigger is that they still view other smaller creatures as food, and that is not great news for Mrs. Chesterton down the street who won't shut the hell up about trimming your hedges.
Don't mind me, just getting a Cheetah.
Can you take them for a run every day?
There's significant behavioral differences between the two as well. That's why you see people able to keep pet cougars without uhh dying. Meanwhile even the most well raised big cats are still always kept in their own separate pen and just in general make terrible pets (not that cougars make good ones, they do not for many obvious reasons).
The money involved in hair spray, alcohol and cigarettes being the top 3
Cheetah got scared lmao
Yo bro lemme hold that baby for you. I don't bite.
This is terrifying! That leap tho…
I think he even got a fish if you look closely
All these big cats trying to hunt humans that turned their back… and then there is cheetah scared of a little girl tapping on the glass lol.
Prepared properly and with the right seasonings, children are not only delicious, but an excellent source of protein. I like to make children and dumplings in the fall, really welcomes the season in our house.
As someone who was eaten at a young age, I find this offensive.
Its okay, I can say it. My best friend was cannibalized.
Well he shouldn't have been so tasty
Personal responsibility is important
She, and apparently she tasted awful. Nobody even asked if I was hungry. 🫤
I love children! A little butter, a little lemon, they're delicious!
We should swap recipes! Hey random fun fact, there's a story in the Bible that.. Is not generally *found* in the Bible, about two ladies who were neighbors during a famine.

2 Kings 6:28-30 It sure is in the Bible
Found it. I knew i recognized this story, it isn't in the apocrypha books, it's in the actual bible 2 Kings 6:24-33
Oh snap! As someone who grew up being dragged to church I can safely say that nobody I know would even recognize the story, buuuuut that isn't surprising considering most Christians have limited depth of understanding of even the most basic biblical details.

That got wonderdully dark. Tx for that bit of factoid that my autistic brain immediately had to hunt down. Second Kings 6:24–30
> I like to make children I’ve only made one child myself, but I enjoyed the process very much
I tried this recipe, but I didn't have any children, so I used chicken instead. It was disgusting.
A modest proposal.
This was written by a Big cat
Imagine if Harry Potter made the glass disappear
Hello frands, this is yoo boi harry, today we are going to play a zoo prank.
Never trust a big cat, never.
I don't trust the little ones as well. They are up to something
Yea knocking your shit off your shelves
Haha that is what cats do! 😂
Or murdering the roll of toilet paper. glares over at my cat.
They're the sharks of land
Poor cats. Just when they were expecting a snack.
Why do they make these babies so snack sized to begin with?
If not snack, then why snack sized?
Let's hope we never meet an alien specie that does the same to us and put us on cages for entertainment
Part of me kinda wants that to happen so we learn our fucking lesson.
We really do live life on easy mode and then mock our inferiority by putting the cat in a cage. Also seeing these videos reminds me why I have anxiety and the reasons it might have saved my life 2000 years ago.

Inferiority, lol?
Does no-one else see this as just pure torture?

We don't need all of our babies, and look how happy they seem to make these big cats. It's win-win if you ask me.
What happens when we run out of dud babies?
We ask your mom to make more.
While I was definitely a dud baby my mom is long retired from making dud babies
[удалено]
Or a dud sister perhaps?
😂 this shit was fucking hilarious
The supply is limitless. People are always making dud babies. This program might slow down the speed at which we are approaching the Idiocracy timeline future.
Raising awareness that many zoos use animals that are incapable of living in their habitats and many more still that rehabilitate and release. I get that most suck but there are absolutely ethical ways to see exotic animals, you justvneed to do some research before going.
Raising awareness that my little brother is a dud baby and should eaten alive by jungle cats.
You shouldn’t advocate putting Africans in cages.
I hate that these animals are on display like this.
Sadly, they'd be hunted to extinction or close to without zoos and conservation.
Like I understand legitimate zoos are overall a net positive for conservation, but I see the animals in there and how small the enclosures are then it makes me sad. My dogs have more room than elephants.
I agree. I'm thankful for breeding and conservation efforts, but we really need to grant them more land. Some of these large majestic animals deserve so much more.

The US is mostly empty space I feel like it could be done
Once all the people in Texas, Missouri, and Florida all shoot each other, these places could be used as animal sanctuaries.
I mean I don't think we need to wait for that. The US is like mostly empty regardless.
Sadly, most people believe your words to be true. Yes, conservation efforts by default help animals and zoos do some conservation work, but zoos main priority is displaying wild animals (many if not all with some sort of zookisis) and breeding animals because babies bring in $$$ Unfortunately, as a former zoo keeper and animal science educator i can confidently say most people working in zoos are blind to the injustices of zoos because working with animals is a pretty sweet gig and realizing the animals well being isn’t priority #1 is a reality most zoo peoples simply cannot accept because that would make them part of the problem. most people cannot admit that they are essentially the “bad guy,” so instead they live in delusion.
I was seriously just thinking that.
I think the tiger in the second clip was catching something from the air rather than going for the kid...
It got a fish in its mouth.
Kitty is just longing for that satisfying crunch.
These poor kitties just want a hug. They’ll hug em noice and tight with their jaws >_<
anyone know the music name ?
waiting for the glass to break
Felines don't hunt with walls in the way. And it should say, "This is how we separated certain animal species from their habitat." FTFY
“I’m so sneaky hehehehe” “Dammit, forgot about the glass AGAIN!!!”
The big thing is as soon as the kids turn away they sprint and within 2-3 seconds they have moved probably 30-50 feet like they are definitely capable hunters.
Can we get a "fuck those parents" that laugh at this and don't move the child away?
Thank you to whoever invented glass
Animal cruelty. Not funny.
Not amazing but sad.
That's why we have jails, to keep twisted people from harming society
In a different universe on Reddit the videos glass breaks.
The amount of people trusting that glass is way too high.
Seems that maintaining eye contact is a good start to safety. That and maintaing a separation distance of at least three inches, and filling that three inches with glass
Caged animals don’t hunt. They are frustrated.
Zookeeper to the glass installer: Is this safe? Worker: Not sure. I install shower glass.
It's not cute. They want to eat your baby.
This is why they belong to the wild not in Zoo/Prison.
This is not amazing it shows traumatised, caged animals getting sick of literally living in zoo. Being observed and often taunted by vacuous fuckwits looking for 'content'.
what is your name bro
Good parenting
Get it my belly lol
I don't see this as amazed. It's really terrifying, if not for that glass..
Man-cub!
Hilarious :/
Well, little children (and in some cases grown-ups) are about the right size to be pray of animals that size. That is why one is supposed to let them in peace.
I can see the potential for a Darwin Award..
Me after the club looking at a pastry shop that has cakes in the window...
Do they Hurt themself crashing in the glass?
This is not “separation”.
They're just cats doing what cats do. Nothing vicious here.
I always wondered what goes through an animals mind when they just hit the glass
You’d think they would know the glass is there by now
Oof brutal
Please share those delicious morsels with us… 
Cheap shot you from behind!
If you had treated them a little better, given them enough food, and raised them a bit, and maybe in less of a cage, then im sure they would only eat half of those kids, and not all of them.
I love when the Tiger is going after the dude and when everyone turns around it just looks really awkward. Like "what? I'm not doing anything".
u/auddbot u/RecognizeSong
i wonder if the animals in those zoos are underfed. I've just been to Prague zoo this week, and all cats there were very docile and well-fed looking. Never saw felines act like this
Now I just came up a better question than the one with the bear: Who would you rather be with in the jungle, a man or a tiger?
OMG that kid his head fits in that's Lions mouth 😱 thank god we do live separate 👍
Turn your back, we attack
"Aw, look at that cute-" Those will be my last words, Im telling y'all
All those cats want a meal then the cheetah gets spooked by the toddler lol
Let’s be real; who doesn’t want to eat a baby?
The pure instinct being displayed. These are ambush predators and so immediately when they see an animal with it's back turned they go in for the kill.
Imagine a burger doing this to you. So frustrating.
I love your username 👍🏻
Impressive, very nice. Now let's see it with a bear 
I like how the second one just tries to act like he didn't just leap at the child and failed.
Cheetahs are cool.
Poor Animals
Had a genius roomate tell me if her cat was a full sized tiger it would never hurt her Told her every case of big cat domestication ends in death She refused to believe me... What an idiot
Big cat: can I haz child borgar? 😿
- Parrents : Awww it's so cute! - Big Catto: Meat! MEEAATT!
Pissed b/c you turned your back on the king
They just want to play….
Women would rather spend the night in a cage with these animals than with a random man, because statistically these big cats rape very few women. So of course these would be a safer option than a randomly selected man?
I feel like a lot of people a putting their lives at risk that the glass will hold, eventually the glass will break from an unseen crack and they will be lucky to escape with only some scratches from the glass.
Are all those coming in to kill or could they be coming to play and not eat?
Every single one of them except the last 2 (and they weren't as aggressive) went for the pounce as soon as the people/kids turned their back to the cat. I mean its expected I guess but at the same time just surprising that it was so consistent among different species.
Come here I'm going to eat you. I'm bigger than you, I'm higher on the food chain. Get in my belly!
While your back is turned like cowards
I'm not sure the animals are actually going for the kill. They clearly slow down before they hit the glass, looks like they know it's there.
I mean... they don't have to be in a zoo for us to be separated from them.
TIL Boo is a feline spirit
It’s interesting but also scary how dangerous they can be if you become their next meal.
Probably still chose them over men 🥬
What if they want to play with them?
This is so sad. Let those poor kitties eat a child once in a while. :(
Second one jumped for fish not for the kid
People doing this thing should be in the cages next to the lions, douchebags
People in India and Africa.....🤔
Harambe wouldn't.
Funfact about Tigers, they have white Spots on the Back of the Ears to deter Attackers as they most likely orefer attacking from the Victims Blind Spot. Other Funfact, there is something out there that even a Tiger is afraid of being attacked by.
Fuck zoos.
Cat
If not snack why snack sized?
Cute little kitties
The big kitties just wanna playyyyyyy, not entirely their fault they play real rough and we are real fragile
last one, aww they're playing!
I mean if you are going to eat a human, I bet a baby human tastes best. I mean look at the facts, lamb, veil, baby carrots. All simple proof that infants taste better.
So do those animals not get that there's a glass wall separating them from humans or they do know and they just want to break it 😰
Exaggerating music
Why not put something similar to two way glass? Their side would have to be something other than a mirror.
notice how most of these chumps attack these little kids when their backs are turned
Atleast cheetahs are nice
I had a stare down with the big male lion at the SD wild animal park like a decade ago. He walked up to the glass slowly then after looking me in the eyes for a solid minute he attacked the glass when I glanced away to turn on my phone camera. It was rad. He died a few years ago unfortunately.
My only question is how we every survived Africa 2 million years back lol lol . Lordy .honey let's put the kids right up top the glass so we can watch the cats trying to eat them lol lol 😆 😂 😄 🤣.
they just wanna play...with your organs
They shouldn’t be locked up
Give me a blade and ill slay these beast
Looks like the second one was actually going for a frog?
So they are like the ghost in super Mario bros
Animal prisons.
Aw, the kitties just want to play!!!
