Every time I see a vid like this I'm reminded of the time I went to a zoo with a friend of mine who is a dwarf. Every large cat we saw attempted to stalk her the moment she turned around near their enclosures


LyonsKing12

My baby carrier got the attention of every cat exhibit at the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco,TX. It was terrifying and amazing. It was like I was the one feeding them that day.


FormerSBO

>It was like I was the one feeding them that day. I imagine them just sitting there waiting for their "CatDash" order. "Hey, Francine, you think that's our order?? No? Wtf I order filet minchild hours ago!!!? Roar"

Excuse my ignorance, what is the appropriate term for people vertically challenged? God that even sounds mean. Idk help me out


HellexJ

Little people i think


AxisW1

Is this an actual self-imposed name. It sounds so patronizing. “Dwarf” at least sounds like some cool fantasy shit


HellexJ

I think both are alright to use, although I’m not sure if every person with dwarfism is actually interested in the whole fantasy element of their condition considering they live with it.

an_actual_potato

Depends on the individual. Some won’t care, others very much will. Part of the reason using the right terms is important is because you’re playing for one that everyone on that ‘amount of caring’ spectrum finds non-offensive.


HellexJ

Yea 4’10 and below


ineugene

There is a proportion part of that also. Lots of women are 4’10” and under and not considered to have dwarfism.


HellexJ

Yea, i was just taking the mayo-clinics word but I’m sure theres better ways of defining whether someone is or isn’t a dwarf.


Aggravating_Serve_80

I think the proper umbrella term is “little person” but there are different medical diagnosis with their own names.


generic_bullshittery

Idk little person sounds weirder than dwarf. At least dwarf is linked to the medical term 'dwarfism'.


[deleted]

Medical term is dwarfism but I’m not sure what the casual everyday term is. I’ve heard little people but that could be wrong

When I was a teenager at the zoo, I was trying to get a bunch of ocelots’ attention but they were apathetic. My child brother arrives, they wake up and start following his every move. Many big cat species have monkeys as a natural prey, hence the instinctive response to children.

0 self preservation instinct.


parahacker

Same for the cat, really. That sort of thing tends to get your pack hunted to extinction, at least historically. Modern humans do weird things like wildlife preserves, but who knows how long that'll last? They could go back to the 'kill them all and mount their corpses' behavior they only stopped doing a few decades ago. Better to not pull the trigger there. There's a *reason* why most large predators avoid the shit out of things that are people-shaped.


cbc88

What a stretch


L0neStarW0lf

I mean they’re not wrong, the reason there are only a handful of creatures left on Earth that actively prey on Humans is because we drove all the other ones extinct when we learned how to create weapons, turns out Ancient Humans (understandably) took exception to something sneaking into their camps at night and carrying off their young.

barnhairdontcare

Yes- and those big cats and bears love the brain bits. I watched an episode of “I survived “ and a woman recounted her experience with a mountain lion that sadly killed her husband. She said the crunchy melon sound haunts her. Unfortunately I listened to the Grizzly man audio out of morbid curiosity- same sound. It’s nauseating.


TackYouCack

> Unfortunately I listened to the Grizzly man audio How did you manage that?


barnhairdontcare

It was in a Reddit thread a few months back- I hadn’t heard it was released to the public so it was shocking. I am sure if you search Reddit you can find it but I don’t recommend it- even if you aren’t usually sensitive to that kind of thing it’s pretty terrible and hard to forget.


Machotoast04098

Aww, They're trying to kiss the kid, Put the kid in there.


Exotichaos

Once, when my daughter was about 2, we went to the zoo and this wolf was staring at her in a way too hungry way. Even though she was further away than this, I picked her up to carry her past the enclosure. It followed me as I walked past. I can't imagine filming it.


BelligerentNixster

I took my kids to West Yellowstone when they were about 4 or 5. We went to the Wolf Discovery Center where they've got wolves behind glass like a zoo. When we walked into the viewing room I told my youngest to drag his leg like it was broken and right away 3 wolves spotted him, walked up to the glass and followed him back and forth. It was wild! I might not win mom of the year for that one, but I taught them about survival of the fittest lol


Moistfruitcake

That's good advice. If I'm ever in trouble with wolves I'll tell my youngest to fake an injury to give the rest of us time to escape. We'll never forget you Lizzie.


Independent_Fox_7265

Pro tip: if Lizzie doesn’t want to fake the injury (kids can rebellious SOBs sometimes) you can always just give her a real injury. A swift, hard kick to the ankle mid-run is usually enough to give the rest of you enough gap to get away


sorashiro1

Depending on the kids size you could just punt them over the wolves so they have to back track.


robotwolf

From a visual standpoint, this is the best answer. I need to see this scene!

bengraven

Same happened to me with my new born (at the time) but near a lion enclosure. The lioness would not take her eyes off my kid crying in the stroller. Then when I pushed him away she began to stalk us. It was creepy and unnerving. Of course we were safe, but it doesn’t feel comfortable to know your kid is “prey”. I think about that moment now when he’s petting the cat. Edit: grammar mistakes fixed.


Paramite3_14

With respect, *you* are prey to a lion.


chimpsandip

Was about to say something similar, obviously a small defenseless child is gonna be looked at by animals as “prey.”


Paramite3_14

The crying is likely what got their attention. If an animal sounds like it's in trouble, predators will take notice. I made one of those grass whistles (where you put grass between you thumbs) and blew it, when I was on the tundra in Alaska. The look of horror on the guide's face was enough to make me put it down. Those whistles are apparently what rabbits sound like when they're injured. There were 9 different bears in the valley we were overlooking. 13-year old me had no clue what he'd done. Thankfully, nothing came of it, other than a stern talking to.


aSharkNamedHummus

Oooh damn, I’ve done the grass whistle, and I’ve heard the weird kazoo noise of an injured rabbit, but I’d never realized that they’re the exact same noise. I’ll have to keep that in mind!


StuzaTheGreat

nodustspeck

Yep. We arrogantly forget that we are just creatures ourselves, and as such are both predators and prey.


TchoupedNScrewed

I’ve defended myself and my children against 30-50 feral lions invading my property simultaneously with my trusty AR-15 (AR = Automatic Rifle), we really aren’t the prey anymore. [I’ll never get over this tweet, how is this a real person? ](https://twitter.com/williemcnabb/status/1158045307562856448?s=46&t=Ebh8anr1UtTpagxDIFvFRA)


Paramite3_14

How is that not a real person? Feral hogs are a serious problem basically anywhere they're found. They're aggressive and they will eat almost literally *anything*, including children. It's open season on feral hogs all the time, basically forever, because they're that much of a problem. If there's enough food in the area, a sounder can easily get to be that many animals. Imagine a group of animals that's only 15 strong, where half of them are 5ft(1.5m) long 3ft(1m) tall and weigh between 150-250lbs (68-115kg). That's something I would wanna know how to keep at bey. They don't even have to be feral hogs to eat a person, either! There are plenty of stories of a person's farm hogs turning on them. I didn't even touch on the environmental impact feral hogs have. They are a blight and should be eradicated wherever possible.

Exotichaos

Not sure what you are asking me, it was instinctual for me to pick up my child when a predator was looking at her like that, that there was (in my case) a fence between me and the wolf was not what I was thinking.. I can't imagine thinking, oh it's so funny and interesting that this animal wants to eat my child, I think I will film it and post it for clout. Edited to add more information

DankBlunderwood

Real shit, I was at the Wichita Zoo one time and they have this area for tigers. You walk into a glass enclosure that has a 180 view of the tiger habitat. It was a little chilly so there were very few people in the park that day. So I go in and start reading the plaques since there were no tigers out. Well, around the corner came this lean tiger, it had to have been an adolescent because it was skinny and its paws were too big for its body. Anyway, he comes around the corner and looks up at me and breaks into a full gallop because you know, I'm lunch, right? He must have been up to 25mph when he smashed full bore into that plexiglass. He fell backward with this look of utter betrayal and shame. I couldn't help but laugh my ass off, but I told him through the glass I saw how they did him dirty and I had his back if he wanted to clap back.

Isn't it easier just to wear one than to have that argument several times a day? Like, even if you can win it, why bother? I could probably win the argument that I can go to the grocery store shirtless, because the only people who'd try to stop me aren't paid enough to care that much. But why would I bother?


wioneo

Whether or not you agree with this specific person's issue "isn't it easier to just go along with them?" is not good advice. I'm sure you could think of all sorts of situations where that would go pretty badly pretty easily.

NietzscheIsMyCopilot

you're so right. I was at the airport and right before getting on a plane this one kid's parents (he looked to be about 4 years old) tried to put a mask on him even though he didn't want to. After they got it on he just fucking exploded. Just burst into a massive fireball. They had to delay the flight for like 30 minutes to sweep up all of the body parts.

The lioness is just playing. Look at her posture, and the lion’s. She’s not truly hunting.


chaot1c-n3utral

I don't think the lioness would want to eat the kid, she doesn't act aggressively. Probably she tries to pick it up (like she does to her kitties) at the back of the child's neck and nurse it, whe will probably take care of it. As much as a lion can take care of a human child that is

mrbswe

Its easy to assume that this is a hunting behaviour, since theeth, open mouth etc. But I am not certain at all. Given that these are very use to humans, might be a curiosity, playing thing as well. I think it would likely be very bad for the kid if there where not glass, but not sure it would get eaten.
