So there's what's referred to as in-situ conservation, where you work to preserve wild habitat and creating national parks, et cetera, and sort of giving the opportunities for reintroduction of species and so on. And there's ex-situ conservation, which is then housing those species animal species that are threatened with extinction in an environment.

And ideally, that environment should then be good enough to promote species typical behavior and so on. So I'm I mean, I'm conflicted. I think that many zoos are sort of doing a lot of good in this effort and also educating the public. And I think that many people who go to zoos, that might awaken in them an interest in animals, which I think is a good thing that we do.

care about animals, but also that sometimes the housing isn't optimal. And certainly some species are a lot more difficult to keep in captivity compared to others. So polar bears are really difficult to keep because they're ranging carnivores.

They walk miles and miles and miles, and it's really difficult to provide those species-specific opportunities in captivity compared to other carnivores who have more of a different type of approach to predation.

I think we often don't give animals enough credit. To me, it's not surprising that she experienced something really unpleasant that she came to associate with two individuals and that generated a negative emotional state and aggressive behavior that she then carried out directed towards those two people.

I would think that a fearful animal might lash out at anyone. But an animal that is angry tends to be more premeditated in a way.

Calculated in a way. So I would expect that if you had scared the tiger, she might show defensive aggression, which is just lashing out at whoever is closest. But this was offensive aggression. And so that is premeditated.
