    This Zoo is the most irresponsible I’ve ever heard of!!! Completely outrageous how they keep animals in completely unnatural conditions and they endanger the animals again and again…

      I made a similar comment. What kills me is how clueless there are; with no explanation as to what they are seeing.

  • @boxsterman77

    I just can't with these clueless staff members, forever befuddled about what they are seeing. Hmmm. I don't know why Franco can't just stick to one mate. Hmmm. I wonder if this uncharacteristic behavior has anything to do with these creatures being confined to an enclosure, which is uncharacteristic for these wild animals?
    In another video they allowed a Tapir baby to be introduced to its father with the comment "in the wild, this wouldn't happen." And thereupon they looked on with great trepidation wondering if they daddy would kill its baby..even though they were the ones responsible for the rushed introduction. Make it make sense!

    Encouraging natural behaviors? You put 2 females who go into heat with 1 male bushdog that neither of them os related to and are surprised that you are having serious issues with him being unnaturally hypergamous and abandoning his pups. These are animals quit anthropomorphising them. He literally can't keep up with 3 litters at once. Why haven't Mana's first litter been removed? Their parents push them out in the wild to go establish their own packs of 1 breeding pair and the pack members being their pups at different stages. This is the most idiotic set up you could have come up with. It was 100% always going to fail because you failed to use a monogamous set up to ensure pack cohesion and social stable structures. You failed to remove the oldest pups who are causing the younger ones to starve they are going to start going into heat soon and need to be removed to prevent inbreeding and hyper aggressive behaviors.

    I wonder if the pheromones of the sisters are similar due to their genetics and are confusing Franco’s instinctual mating behavior.

      They should run labs on him to check his Testosterone levels if it’s to high that might be the cause also like you said he might think he’s mating with one female they should of sent the sisters to other zoos and gotten different females or just the pair.

    In the Wild. Which this family will not be in the Wild. So Beef, Chicken, Turkey, Cut up lamb, is well suited. You don't really have to give them Carcasses of Animals unless planing on releasing them. My family have some bush dogs family in South America an they eat entire raw chicken, Beef, among other meats. After a while.. ? They've prefer the food they give them. Carcases are rarly touched more played with. They do still hunt at times. Animals are like humans. They prefer better suited meat, with No Fur/Feathers.

      They eat the carcass but they have to drag them it is important for them to get whole prey not just the meat you could grind up the bones and feed organs fur and feathers but it’s great enrichment for them to have a carcass

      @@amandajackson668 They organs are already dried out in most cases. In the Wild they hunt at the moment and eat it. It has to be fresh. Because they sometimes also get liquid's from it. I get it. But if not released into the wild ? You can find an, give them many others meats. Iff you want ? Put some organs if you like. My cousin's have giving them big chunks of Beef an clean Organic chicken of their farms an they love it. What's interesting is ? Some of the family members eat lettuce/grass. Seems understandable for many animals even lions eat a little grass for stomach issues, bloating, an clean viral system. There's always more ways than one. Life itself doesn't include only one way..
