Carnivorous animals in the zoo only sleep to rest. They pretend to be asleep to flee the eyes of visitors, and often their locution is pure self-defense. Austrian zoologist Mircea Pfleiderer has reached this conclusion after three years of study in lions, tigers, wolves and lynxes zoos.

When the beast seems asleep, even when lying down, it keeps its head up and keeps its neck, throat and abdomen. The ears also perfectly denounce that their sleep is false because they are upright.

According to the Austrian scientist, carnivores (when they live free in their natural habitat) measure their forces face to face. What you feel is less strong than the rest is hidden, but in the zoo is impossible.

To prevent lions and panthers from crashing with the eyes of the public, Mircea Pfleiderer proposes to enable reserved spaces on the margins of networks, as well as placing special glasses so that visitors can see them without disturbing.
