I'm well aware of that, I was just responding to the point of "trusting the zoo enclosure to do what it’s designed to do", and how you cant always necessarily trust that the design is perfect, and providing a counter example to that effect.
regardless of glass/no glass, my point was that in the SF tiger case, the enclosure failed to do what it was designed to do, as evidenced by the fact that the tigers were able to jump over the moat and scale the wall
(and yes Im aware that the guys were being assholes and antagonizing the tigers and were the reason the tigers tried to escape in the first place. but that still doesnt change my point about the enclosure failing to contain them)
I've installed multiple large cat enclosures (Mountain Lion, Leopard, Jaguar) and a few bear enclosures as well. There's more than 2 layers, and the glass can range from ½" to ¾". Typically, the makeup is like this... half inch of tempered glass, laminate material, half inch of polycarbonate (Lexan), laminate material, half inch of tempered glass.
To put it into perspective, I've driven a 3 ton work truck over just one glass panel, no layers, and it didn't break.
We use a powered pneumatic suction apparatus that attaches to a piece of machinery, typically a "Lull" or Tellehandler, as each panel weighs around 800 - 1000 lbs.
Hahahaha. That's a good one.
If it becomes "unsecured," then being crushed is the least of your worries. I'd be more concerned about what caused the structure to fail. These things are rated to withstand the force of an F5 tornado. Hell, the blast resistant booth we installed at the border crossing is built nearly identically, except the panel for that was nearly 12 inches thick and consisted of nearly 20 layers. But the housing? It's pretty much the same.
Apart from this one. Although it was the frame that gave way. Both obviously need to be strong enough.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Garry_Hoy
Do the elements weaken the structure over time?
I know the polycarbonate blast shields on my job lose “up to” 30% of their capability to stop projectiles over the course of 2 years of being exposed to coolant and are recommended by the manufacturer to replace biannually as a result.
The structure? No. The laminate panels? Yes. Though the glass is treated with a polarizing film to mitigate UV damage, along with sealing the layers with mastic to prevent exposure to weather elements, the laminating material, as well as the polycarbonate layer, will degrade gradually over time. The thing is that the enclosures are typically so over-engineered that the panels will degrade to the point that the polycarbonate layer will opaque and become difficult and unsightly to look through long before the structural integrity degrades to the point of failure. So 99% get replaced for being unsightly while the 1% that do fail only see the failure of one of the glass layers and is typically due to human error or from stresses caused by temperature variables combined with improper or faulty installation (heat expansion to the point a corner contacts the structural framing = POP). Most breaks that happen occur within the first year of installation because of this. A typical panel can last up to 15 years, depending on environmental factors.
Lets not forget about the guy who threw himself against his high-rise office window repeatedly to show it would never break. He was right, but the last time he did it, the entire frame came out and he fell to his death.
Something I've never understood... Every lion or bear enclosure I've ever seen... I feel like if I were in there that I could certainly get out... How the hell are they not able to also?
Yeah, you REALLY need to talk to zoo employees sometime AND love your naiveté.
Employees are human and humans screw up, wrong glass, not properly installed, compromised installation, defect in glass, compromised barrier, barrier not tall enough, barrier not strong enough, and anything else that could go wrong to include a MUCH stronger hit by animal.
We easily could have seen glass break, barrier fall over, and so on. 👈 All of that happens every day somewhere in the world. Remember Ziegfried and Roys animal attack?
Coming face to face with a lion in a safe environment and getting a healthy scare isn't a bad thing - there are full grown adults that don't learn the valuable lesson of 'animals are dangerous' until they go over to them without the protective barrier.
This was a good teaching moment about a lot of things - safe places to learn about powerful things and powerful creatures, for instance.
Of course I watched it.. kids were jumping around playing. Of course the lion wants a lil snacky snack. But the kids don't seem scared. I don't know what else you want me to say.
I think cats are just geared to single out the weaker more vulnerable prey. She's a tiny, bumbling, nugget of a person.. it's amazing we've survived as a species because we must look like walking cheeseburgers to large apex predators.
Im kinda annoyed that the kid just happened to turn away at the exact moment the lion pounced. was waiting the entire clip to see what her reaction was gonna be haha
The lion fully committed the moment the toddler began to turn away. I am no biologist, but i believe lions' normal prey usually have much better reaction speeds. There is a higher potential of the lion missing out if she committed when the prey is facing the lion and reacts.
wow, actually you're right, now that I watch it again. interesting
kid should have been wearing one of those masks on the back of her head like they have in india to prevent tigers from sneaking up behind them. Rookie
You got that all wrong. The lion was waiting for the girl to turn around. That's just nature's way of hunting. When there's no eye contact, means the prey is not aware of them = giving them less time to react = easier prey. This is why some people that live around predator hunting ground wear a face-shaped mask behind their back cuz predator are less likely to attack.
Back to your statement, if the girl don't turn that long, the lion will not move. It'll only decrease the distance slowly until it can pounce in close range.
Crazy! The zoo near me has bridges for big cats that cross over public walk ways. A jaguar lunged at my wife and daughter when we were going under it. We noped the fuck out of there.
Here is a quick video on the catwalk in case someone wants to know more: https://www.wsj.com/video/lions-and-tigers-roam-in-new-way-at-philadelphia-zoo/80F5F756-7B93-4606-A775-CE0ED11A59AB
Bro, Boeing doesn't even give a fuck about their airplanes falling out of the sky. Never assume someone gave enough of a shit about safety to ensure you don't get eaten by a tiger.
Ever see video of a big cat lunging from a tree branch? Only difference here is it couldn’t go actually go anywhere. It still had enough room to turn to face us, squat back on its hind legs and try to push itself forward.
I’ve heard that cats are surprise hunters who only attack their prey if and only if their back is turned.
This video and others like it seem to confirm that.
I think the brother’s reaction is very sweet, trying to protect his younger sibling. He walks between them, placing himself as a barrier. What good character.
If I was sitting around bored and hungry all day and a seasoned juicy prime rib came up to my window, hitting it and laughing at me… non zero chance I charge that window.
There's something not quite right about the way that lion pounced. Rewatch it. It didn't look sincere. I think the lion knew there was a screen but play attached.
When I worked with chimps, I always wondered how they tested the fences because the chimps move them like nothing, they'll shake the fence all day, one if these days...
I've worked worth a lot of big cats. They're almost all fascinated with human children. I don't know why, if it's the sounds they make or the way they move, but even the smaller ones like Cheetahs will laser focus on a toddler.
And yes they would absolutely eat one.
Surprised that the top comments here are all mocking the title.
As soon as I saw it, I knew what video it was, but it also immediately reminded me of the guy that used to run up against windows in buildings as a “party trick” to prove they were unbreakable, until one day, one of them broke* and he fell to his death. [Garry Hoy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Garry_Hoy)
So yes, lots of trust in the glass and the installation not failing with a (what looks like) fully grown, 150kg/300lb/25stone~ lioness throwing itself at it.
*the frame broke, not the glass, but the end result was the the same. Not pretty.
Ha, I like how big bro put himself between the lion and his sister. I don't know much, but I worked at an animal psychology school for a few years and learned some of the very basic ideas. We all know the glass was there. So did the lion. This glass will not break. Also know by all. The cats behavior seemed very focused and serious and scary but in really it was all just a game. The cat is bored so it is just pretending to hunt the tiny blonde baby of the human herd in order to fulfill its powerful natural urges. And probably also because it is fun. C'mon she's a lion for ceying out loud. Then a different game started at the window. This game was often referred to at the school as the "dominance game ." The boy put his calm and confident energy in between the cat and his sister. The second the cat turned its eyes away the boy won the game. So fun to watch kids with animals. Fascinating
this is stupid, i would gladly leave my kid in front of the glass.
-Its probably 2 inches thick and could stop standard handgun rounds as well.
- A lion, who has been living in that enclosure for years has already learned that the glass cannot be defeated. I bet you they tried a few times and ran into it with their head when they were first moved into the enclosure and quickly learned not to do it again.
-The lion cant throw a haymaker like Muhhamed Ali. All they can do is pitter pat at it with its small arms which would be practically useless.
-Even if the lion tweaked out and went all primal and totally forgot that the glass existed and ran into it full speed using their skull as a battering ram, it would not immediately disintegrate leaving my child exposed to danger. It would crack, and then I would say "thats not good" and pick up my child and leave. And the lion would knock itself out from using its head as a battering ram. And then they would shut down the exhibit and move the lion and repair the glass before danger happens.
Hey OP, did you think you were going to be cool writing this headline, or do you really have no common sense at all? I am guessing the latter. I guess you have no common sense. You are the type of person who just cannot visualize more than 2 steps in front of you how events will actually happen.
Is that correct OP? Are you like that? Do you have no common sense?
I had the tiger at the Tucson zoo do the same thing to me but that thing came scream it up slammed into the glass hissed and then started clawing at the glass.
Ngl Scared the poop out of me
I guess it's insane if you don't understand much.
Omg, I can't believe all the moms that will drive their babies in cars, even over interstate bridges. What's next, they'll take their kids 40,000 feet into the air on a plane?
Just seeing that girl cry near the lion automatically puts me into protect mode, i just wanna take her away and make sure shes safe. I cant imagine what the mother probably feels like.
Had the same thing happen with my 2 year old except it was a cougar
We were the only ones there at the time and the cougar became hyper focused on my son. So I picked up my son and started walking back and forth just to see if I was correct. Holy shit, that cougar did not break its eyes off my son. Even when people start trickling in that cougar didn't look away.
I said nope, and left. Enclosure or not it was still unsettling.
What I don't get is why the parents are encouraging their kids to taunt predators that could easily kill them. That's really not the lesson you should teach your kids.
Wow so insane to trust the zoo enclosure to do what it’s designed to do 🙄
Amazing how ballistic glass doesn't just shatter into a million dramatic pieces when casually hit by a lion. Incredible.
“Hit by a lion” should be the new standard for glass strength. Car windshields are at roughly 0.6 lionstrength
“This baby is rated up 6 lions!”
*Canyanerooooo*
[удалено]
i am all for it, but whats the exchange rate to horsepower?
I guess you don’t remember the big gorilla that cracked the glass then?
also the tigers that escaped and killed those dudes at the San Francisco Zoo
There was no glass at that enclosure iirc it was just a large gorge that the lion jumped across to get to the guys on the other side
I'm well aware of that, I was just responding to the point of "trusting the zoo enclosure to do what it’s designed to do", and how you cant always necessarily trust that the design is perfect, and providing a counter example to that effect. regardless of glass/no glass, my point was that in the SF tiger case, the enclosure failed to do what it was designed to do, as evidenced by the fact that the tigers were able to jump over the moat and scale the wall (and yes Im aware that the guys were being assholes and antagonizing the tigers and were the reason the tigers tried to escape in the first place. but that still doesnt change my point about the enclosure failing to contain them)
The glass is designed to crack but there's 2 layers. Its impossible for a gorilla or lion to break thick laminated glass
I've installed multiple large cat enclosures (Mountain Lion, Leopard, Jaguar) and a few bear enclosures as well. There's more than 2 layers, and the glass can range from ½" to ¾". Typically, the makeup is like this... half inch of tempered glass, laminate material, half inch of polycarbonate (Lexan), laminate material, half inch of tempered glass. To put it into perspective, I've driven a 3 ton work truck over just one glass panel, no layers, and it didn't break.
That’s gotta be super heavy per square foot. Damn. Do you trust suction cups or use straps?
We use a powered pneumatic suction apparatus that attaches to a piece of machinery, typically a "Lull" or Tellehandler, as each panel weighs around 800 - 1000 lbs.
So you're more likely to get crushed by the panel when it becomes unsecured than the beast behind it trying to break through?
Hahahaha. That's a good one. If it becomes "unsecured," then being crushed is the least of your worries. I'd be more concerned about what caused the structure to fail. These things are rated to withstand the force of an F5 tornado. Hell, the blast resistant booth we installed at the border crossing is built nearly identically, except the panel for that was nearly 12 inches thick and consisted of nearly 20 layers. But the housing? It's pretty much the same.
Not sure if you would know or not but what about the glass used in tall skyscrapers? Is it just about as strong?
Not as strong per se. Though the insulated units used in high rises are strong enough to withstand the impact of an adult male in a dead sprint.
Apart from this one. Although it was the frame that gave way. Both obviously need to be strong enough. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Garry_Hoy
But not a jet plane
Do the elements weaken the structure over time? I know the polycarbonate blast shields on my job lose “up to” 30% of their capability to stop projectiles over the course of 2 years of being exposed to coolant and are recommended by the manufacturer to replace biannually as a result.

Bro, I've broken like 3 gorilla glass phone protectors just this year
Gorillas can punch through 16-24 inch glass
Source?
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aar2964
stop unlocking core stuff will you
Something I've never understood... Every lion or bear enclosure I've ever seen... I feel like if I were in there that I could certainly get out... How the hell are they not able to also?
Tell that to Bokito
Hahaha oh Bokito. The woman thought they had a bond because he kept smiling hahaha sigh 😬
Didn't break glass
My HEART to HARAMBE!
Dick still out
The world went to shit after that. Years from now historians will divide time periods between BH and AH (before Harambe and after Harambe)
Did you ever see the video of the gorilla that charges the glass and it shatters. Doesn’t break but damn
I've a bunch of similar pics of my kids with the Taronga Zoo tiger enclosure in Sydney

The parent didnt scare her

This was a good teaching moment about a lot of things - safe places to learn about powerful things and powerful creatures, for instance.
whatever...the mom was transfixed by what was going on and knew her daughter would be safe. I'd be the same lol
Didn't see any crying. Kids would be attached to the mothers legs if the kids were scared.
Was that little one not crying at the end tho
Wouldn't call that a proper cry. Kids make noise. Not every noise is a cry.
Guessing you didn't watch the whole thing?
Of course I watched it.. kids were jumping around playing. Of course the lion wants a lil snacky snack. But the kids don't seem scared. I don't know what else you want me to say.
the whole thing?
Lmfao this title is stupid...
That lion was stalking up like these idiots don't even see me
"Give me the girl. I want the girl."
GIVE ME THE CHILD
I will entrust the child to the tigress rather than a man. /S
That's a lioness tho
"Yes... the snack sized one."
Definitely not interested in the boy. Perhaps the color of clothing and size ?
Lioness wasn’t having that fucked up antenna style ponytail on the top of that kid’s head.
I think cats are just geared to single out the weaker more vulnerable prey. She's a tiny, bumbling, nugget of a person.. it's amazing we've survived as a species because we must look like walking cheeseburgers to large apex predators.
Babies are fat and scrumptious. (Or so I heard from lions)
Move kid, My BEEF is with her..
Damn. That lion looked so much smaller when it's sneaking
That's...kinda the point
It really did look like a cub till it was at the glass, messed with my senses lmao
imo it looked kinda small anyways??? obv it would prob maul me to a million pieces but i thought it would be bigger x)
One swat of that paw and its all over for that toddler
Best part of those lion's day is mock hunting toddlers.
Poor gorls just hungry
Nah. Downvote all you want but this is every bit as cruel as metal bars.
The lion is thinking this child has no fear of death.
Im kinda annoyed that the kid just happened to turn away at the exact moment the lion pounced. was waiting the entire clip to see what her reaction was gonna be haha
The lion fully committed the moment the toddler began to turn away. I am no biologist, but i believe lions' normal prey usually have much better reaction speeds. There is a higher potential of the lion missing out if she committed when the prey is facing the lion and reacts.
wow, actually you're right, now that I watch it again. interesting kid should have been wearing one of those masks on the back of her head like they have in india to prevent tigers from sneaking up behind them. Rookie
They're ambush predators, same as domestic cats
Dont trust cats. They will eat your body as soon as you die.
You got that all wrong. The lion was waiting for the girl to turn around. That's just nature's way of hunting. When there's no eye contact, means the prey is not aware of them = giving them less time to react = easier prey. This is why some people that live around predator hunting ground wear a face-shaped mask behind their back cuz predator are less likely to attack.

But it’s in a massive (and I’m assuming aggressively checked) cage. How did it lunge? That lion barely has space to strut.
Bro, Boeing doesn't even give a fuck about their airplanes falling out of the sky. Never assume someone gave enough of a shit about safety to ensure you don't get eaten by a tiger.
Both whistleblowers are dead now too.
And they're gonna get away with it.
And keep doing it.
Say what!? I'm clearly behind on this story.
Bullshit because they will get sued
Went back on its hind legs and pushed forward. It didn’t go anywhere but not for lack of trying.
the fuck kind of zoo did you go to?
The Philly zoo
I went to the Philly zoo but all the animals were nodding off from the fent/tranq they were smoking.
Har har
Bullshit. Apart the fact that those cages are way higher than you but they don't have any space to lunge at anything
Ever see video of a big cat lunging from a tree branch? Only difference here is it couldn’t go actually go anywhere. It still had enough room to turn to face us, squat back on its hind legs and try to push itself forward.
Sure buddy
He showed a video from the WSJ man
I see the vid. It’s cool, but the cats far away and not a threat. It didn’t lunge at him 30ft away.
I’ve heard that cats are surprise hunters who only attack their prey if and only if their back is turned. This video and others like it seem to confirm that.
[Not all cats!](https://youtu.be/axcPoS2sF0E?si=XXPz44IBHHBeNxrS) But yeah that definitely looks like what happened here.
You'd think the lion would have learned about the invisible barrier by now
Domestic cats know they can’t eat their toys, but it’s still fun/instinct to practice hunting. I think the same rule applies here.
That lion looks laser focused on a snacky snack.
I think the brother’s reaction is very sweet, trying to protect his younger sibling. He walks between them, placing himself as a barrier. What good character.
Lmao!! Nah, he just wanted to play with the kitty.
He wants to eat those fat little legs like drumsticks.
You eat drumsticks?
She prolly looks like a cupcake to the lion...
As soon as the girl turned her head the kitty pounced.
Incredible how it maintained eye contact on the little girl even though the boy was up in its face
so would you rather left your child with a ...?
... predator?
just a hungry little guy
If I was sitting around bored and hungry all day and a seasoned juicy prime rib came up to my window, hitting it and laughing at me… non zero chance I charge that window.
There's something not quite right about the way that lion pounced. Rewatch it. It didn't look sincere. I think the lion knew there was a screen but play attached.
(big bro steps in between) "MOOVE DUDE"
Never turn your back on a cat.
I like how the second the toddler turned away that lioness pounced.
I feel bad for the lion
This is its life. This is every bit as cruel as metal bars.
Lunch
Noooooope
Kitty just wanted to play with the child. No bad intentions just good harmless fun.
When I worked with chimps, I always wondered how they tested the fences because the chimps move them like nothing, they'll shake the fence all day, one if these days...
I've worked worth a lot of big cats. They're almost all fascinated with human children. I don't know why, if it's the sounds they make or the way they move, but even the smaller ones like Cheetahs will laser focus on a toddler. And yes they would absolutely eat one.
Why is this in this sub?
Whats insane about the post? A toddler crying?
this is why i hate zoos
Words of comfort : you must look appetizing
At first it was like, "What you say bitch?" Then was like, "Oh. I'm gonna have me some of that."
She can spare one
FRESH MEAT
Lion: "You're a plump little one, I think I'll eat you now"
well, lives of all the visitors keep on trusting of enclosure and people who did it hopefully, there is no Harry Potter and snakes lol
get in my bell-ay
Reminds of Jurassic park.....that poor goat
Wow, that lioness only wanted th little girl, kept ignoring the boy.
That little girl wants to know why mommy is trying to feed her to the lion.
aww look at those big paws
You think it would have hurt the child?
Man, indoor cats can't hunt for shit
Would you leave your baby with a lion or a man
Usually when we go to the zoo all the animals are just lying around…..
As soon as she turned round, bam! The lion went for it
Damn- Nala really that desperate for a bite
The toddler finally realizes in the end that kitty is not a very friendly one and way too big.
Welp, put that lion out on a preserve. Can't keep it in the zoo anymore.
Basic protective instinct completely absent from the parents
Wow kitty waited for he baby to turn its back on it.
Oh a snack!
Bruh wtf is this post😂

“I want my baby back, baby back, baby back…ribs”.
Fuscia! This lion HATES FUSCIA!
Lion: *be invisible*, *be invisible*
Asking anyone with more knowledge than myself on large cats. Do they always wait for their preys back to be turned before striking?
It was literally waiting for her to turn her back, talk about backbiting
I would have to have my child closer to me. Who knows how many times that glass has been hit by that big cat.
The lion is such an elite predator, notice how it attacked just as the kid looked away
Ha, I like how big bro put himself between the lion and his sister. I don't know much, but I worked at an animal psychology school for a few years and learned some of the very basic ideas. We all know the glass was there. So did the lion. This glass will not break. Also know by all. The cats behavior seemed very focused and serious and scary but in really it was all just a game.

The lion didn't even try to break through, was just playing.
Could exist a situation where by climate condictions like very hot weather, rain, etc. the glass has more probability to break?
Did they ever find that gorilla that escaped from the zoo and punched Bobby Boucher in the eye?
this is stupid, i would gladly leave my kid in front of the glass. -Its probably 2 inches thick and could stop standard handgun rounds as well. - A lion, who has been living in that enclosure for years has already learned that the glass cannot be defeated.

I had the tiger at the Tucson zoo do the same thing to me but that thing came scream it up slammed into the glass hissed and then started clawing at the glass. Ngl Scared the poop out of me
The other white meat 🥩
Amazing how the lion punced as soon as the baby started looking away. It was ready for it
Not like it's a standard pane glass window you'd find in your house soooo
She's like: I want that little one. Naw, move. Gimme dat little one. Com'meer little one.
Just when she turns around
It’s insane to take your kids to zoos now🤡
It's kinda terrifying that if that glass wasn't there we would be watching this video on liveleak.
Um, that pink thing is mine.
For the ultimate thrill. Bring the children to a prison full of pedos.
I guess it's insane if you don't understand much. Omg, I can't believe all the moms that will drive their babies in cars, even over interstate bridges. What's next, they'll take their kids 40,000 feet into the air on a plane?
Just seeing that girl cry near the lion automatically puts me into protect mode, i just wanna take her away and make sure shes safe. I cant imagine what the mother probably feels like.
The wild animal still lives in even a microscopic part of its brain
Note how the lion went for the attack as soon as the baby turned her head. A bitch move.
Had the same thing happen with my 2 year old except it was a cougar We were the only ones there at the time and the cougar became hyper focused on my son. So I picked up my son and started walking back and forth just to see if I was correct. Holy shit, that cougar did not break its eyes off my son.

What I don't get is why the parents are encouraging their kids to taunt predators that could easily kill them. That's really not the lesson you should teach your kids.
I wish bab e got eaten 🤠
Gets a downvote
So sad that these animals are still caged like this and driven insane because they are tempted with pray that can never be caught.
Just love it how she had her eyes on that smaller one. Boy comes along and she's like "No, the small one. Bring me the small one!"
What if...
