The problem comes when visitors think they can just climb into the enclosures to “pet the lion” or something, only to find out that hey, what do you know, they’re dangerous wild animals and not tame cuddly cartoons. Then the staff have to risk their lives to rescue the visitors.
Over 50 years ago I visited the St. Louis Zoo, and they had big cats (lions and tigers) in very large cages, and I agree with you. In fact, their roars could be heard at high volume across the entire zoo.

And then the bear says, “Come here. Hug me.”

I wonder what Baldo’s sound of dominance would be.

If they want a hug, Gracie, they’d probably prefer one from their own species.

That’s why the boa is quiet. He gives them.

In a big cat house years and years ago, my daughter and I heard a tiger roar. The building shook! And Wendy leaped into my arms, terrified.

Boas are among the most lovable pets, you can always depend on them to hug you…

I’m not sure about the rest of the animals, but most parents would tend to avoid the Monkey cage with children as young as Gracie.
Heck, most parents would avoid the Monkey cage no matter how old their children are.

Gracie continues to impress me! She is so smart, and caring. Everyone should have a little girl like her. <3
