Article 1 Why This Zoo Lion Killed a Lost Water Bird
In this article a lioness kills a heron that came for water. Even though the lioness was raised in captivity.
Cats,big and small are instinctual hunters. Without practicing or being instructed, they know how to move silently, stalk, and pounce on prey. Even domesticated cats hunt small animals like birds and rodents with these keen skills. This is why the lioness killed the heron because it was its instincts. Since the heron entered the lions exhibit, it triggered the lioness' instincts to kill. Therefore, even captive or domestic cats are instinctual hunters.
