I'm pretty sure that this is the San Diego Zoo in California. When the zoo first started up in 1915ish, a rival zoo a couple cities away stole a couple of the tigers that were being kept in the San Diego Zoo. Because of the lack of proof, they(San Diego Zoo) started cutting off the tails of all their exotic animals. Now they just cut off the tails out of tradition. I'm also just kidding, I don't know shit about zoos.

User ladybetty's image is handy, and is good advice that should be followed by all. However, "she" has been posting it everywhere, wherever there are comments about RES tags. I worry that the force of the good advice contained therein may be diluted through frequent, indiscriminate use. Let us hope that my pessimism proves unfounded.

Also, today I bought a half-gallon carton of limeade for $1.49. Coincidence, or global citrus conspiracy?

[–]FatZombieMama 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Less is more, that's for sure. This was the first instance I'd run into, though I did more further down, and it did get old.

Also, I think what we all want to know is if there was lemonade right next to it for $1.50.

[–]promonk 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It was "Newman's Own" brand, and the limeade was $1.49. The same brand's lemonade was 2/$3.00, but it was on special. It's usually a bit more expensive.

IDK if this is a different zoo or tiger, but the zoo I work at (Brookfield Zoo) has a tiger with a stub for a tail because its father attacked it when it was a cub. It's perfectly fine now (though without a tail) but is able to move around normally without because it lost the tail as a cub and was able to adapt.

I wonder if it's a genetic bobtail like a bobcat or other kind of lynx. It happens in most other cat species too.

[–]Krispyz 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I doubt that. Besides domesticated cats, the "bobbed" tail is not really something that occurs in individuals. It's species-wide (like in bobcats) or not at all. I suppose it could be an extremely rare mutation, but it's much more likely the tiger was just in a physical accident of some sort.

[–]XxGoodnEvil17xX -5 points-4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's a species of tiger that has short or no tails. I know because the tiger is my favorite animal and I've read many books and watched shows about them since I was 7! I think it's because of Aladdin that I fell in love with tigers. My favorite is the white tiger.

That tiger didn't shit itself, it went defensive posture, identify target, lash out with back legs; bird was the one who shit itself.

it is funny, because freaking out is how you get stung/bite. i stay extremely still and watch it, 99.9% of the time (unless it is a mosquito/tick) they aren't interested in you... and the sudden movement is what gets you stung as you startle them.

This reminds me of something, and no, this isn't a bullshit story on a novelty account.

I was in the army in an airborne infantry unit. We would do these night movements through the woods. Picture 100+ dudes in peak physical condition armed to the teeth, quietly stalking prey through the woods. Then someone walks through a spiderweb and they react exactly like the tiger. Yelling screaming and cursing follow. Kinda funny how that works.

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

When I was a child, I would try to pick up lizards and accidentally remove their tails. I was under the impression that a lizard formed from the wiggling tail. In my eyes, I was creating an entirely new lizard, you know, doing the good lords work. So I went around pulling the tail off every lizard I could find, thinking I was the single goddamn reason that these creatures stayed in the game. Nevertheless, I was told this was false and I was devastated.

TL;DR: Age 5, God of Lizards.

The truth is that pretty much all animals kept in captivity (ESPECIALLY big cats) are constantly stressed out from the environment. The animals pretty much hate their lives, because they're not designed to be put on display and given food. I hate zoos, I think they're disturbing (although, to play the devil's advocate, they do help some endangered species survive).

Had this explained in depth by my buddy's wife, who worked at a big cat rescue facility and now works for a place that rescues all animals, from squirrels to exotics that are bought for domestication.

I'm pretty sure almost anything that is alive would jump up like that if someone or something touched it without hearing it coming.

I can't speak for all zoos and people, but at least some work hard to keep their animals healthy, unstressed and active. They provide enrichment, leave food in random places to encourage natural browsing, etc. The fact that these techniques work is reenforced by the lack of stereotypical behavior (like pacing, over-grooming, etc.) these animals show.

A second thought comes from Life of Pi, where the main character suggests that animals are happy in zoos because they are completely provided for. A lot of escaped animals return to their enclosures, because they have known nothing else. Finally, as you said, zoos help the survival of endangered species, provide homes to abandoned or badly cared-for captive wild animals, etc.

That said, there are negative things about zoos, and not all zoos are great models.

Necessary evil, if the devistation of tigers has no associated images for children/adults, they won't appreciate the damage. Seeing the beasts up close shows how beautiful the animals are and how much of a pitty it would be if they are gone.

If the tiger still had a tail, I doubt it would have lost it's balance like that.

I was at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago once and saw a seagull divebomb a snow leopard. It was about as awesome as that .gif.

You can tell the cat briefly enters self-defence mode by instantly crouching low and rolling on to its back to raise all four paws. Only to realize it's a bird that he could eat in one bite.
