Witnessed and captured another lovely interaction, Siberian Tigers this time. The cub was jumping over the father's back, then playfully trying to bite his paw and he received a gentle kick by the unwilling adult. Haven't seen this one before!

Habitat size is 1744 m2, two adults and two cubs. (And yes, I have animals that are not cats in the zoo, too! Some.)

I saw my red ruffed lemurs removing fleas by one another.

How about this, guests running for all they're worth and the keeper is about to get the surprise of his life after I forgot that Brown Bears are pretty good at climbing..... One guest loves it and wants to read about the Bear before she's eaten by it

Digging up this thread because... I just witnessed a kangaroo cuddle with a juvenile that was not her own! I've never seen that happen before. I zoomed in because the adult was about to give birth, and before bringing her own baby into the world, she interacted with the young one that was born by my other female kangaroo a little while ago. Very adorable, gave me some much wanted feelings of the animals being a family.

This is more a coincidence of placement than a programmed animal behavior, but when my keeper came in to feed the capuchins and was holding a big bucket of fruit, one of the monkeys on a climbing platform took a flying leap and landed directly on top of the keeper. Very humorous, made me wish there were unique animations for keeper/animal interactions.! Seeing that bucket of fruit fly all over the place would have been priceless!

This sounds so awesome. I would love it if something like that gets implemented
