Zoo lions show wild instincts after diet change
Original: Scientists changed how zoo lions eat. Their wild side came out
Scientists altered the feeding routine of lions in zoos, and the animals began displaying more natural, wild behaviours. The findings suggest that how carnivores are fed, not just what they eat, plays a major role in their welfare and behaviour in captivity. Researchers say the results could change how zoos manage big-cat feeding programmes worldwide.
Why now: New research suggests zoo feeding practices strongly influence lions' natural behaviour, with implications for animal welfare.
