You know, happy is a hard term to interpret when it comes to animals. I think many of those animals are physically healthy, yes, but I don't think it's normal. Tigers are solitary animals. It's not normal to see 10 tigers in one pen. No, it's not a kumbaya thing where they think, oh, look, we're all one happy family. We're all brothers and sisters. I love you. I love you.
I don't think that is normal. I think at the end of the day, that puts a stress that might not be easily seen by a layperson, but the animal is stressed that way.

So people need to get that out of their heads.

But I would have to say the majority of people in this country who are keeping lions and tigers and similar types of animals in their backyards are as quote-unquote sanctuaries are not sanctuaries. They're exploiting these animals to make money.

Oh, yeah? You're going to give me a snowball? Take this! How about that?

And that's a grackle that's trying to harass it and just being annoying like many birds can be sometimes. But that's a baby copy bar, which is really cool. It's the world's largest rodent found in, you know, tropical America and actually eaten by many people because they consider it a delicacy.

Yeah.
They're called a frog mouth. You know, it's a. Yeah, it opens its mouth. The beak is actually very small. The keratin part of the beak is very small. They blend in with trees really well. That's not a good example because he's on a fence post right there. But they just will stay totally still on the top of a tree or a fence post, something like that. And they look like a piece of wood.
