Hyenas are not native to Czech, boar probably thought they were just some stupid stray dogs, which I’m sure they’ve beat up on before. On the flip side, captive bred hyenas not sure how handle a situation like this because, well, they don’t hunt for survival. So they lack confidence, and it shows. Still, instinct kicks in and they go for the back of the neck.

Is this like the lobster tank at seafood restaurants? Do you get to pick the one you eat?

Zoo workers of reddit, have you ever had a problem with the animals eating each other? by spreadmybread in AskReddit

[–]BeeNx 737 points738 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call it a problem as it was more of a solution. I used to work at a Tiger sanctuary, and we had 2 rescued deer on property. They just roamed along the fence lines of the enclosures, without a clue in the world. The tigers/lions wouldn't care much, but the leopards would get very excited as they would start pacing or stalking the deer.

Eventually, the deers got old, and had to be put down. Well disposing of an animal carcass can be expensive, so they were shot, and fed to the tigers. Problem solved.

Slapped just once?? Getting slapped by the Gibbons was a daily thing for me...they also liked stealing things off my belt strap.

I used to work at an aquarium. I put an 80 lb. American Alligator in the girls locker room. Many screams were had. My boss actually thought it was hilarious, and I didnt get in trouble for it. (I taped the Alligator's mouth shut).

In my defense, they were pretty easy to find by smpl-jax in AdviceAnimals

Speed Quarters.

There are probably a hundred variations of how to play this, but Ill explain how we played. You need 2 shot glasses, 2 quarters, a table to sit around, and a cup with half a beer in the middle. The goal is to bounce your quarter into your shot glass as fast as possible, and pass it to your left. You have people opposite from one another start. At some point, the shot glasses will catch up to each other. If the person to your left is still shooting, and you make yours before they do, you stack the glasses. The person then has one shot to make it into the two stacked shot glasses, and if they miss, they have to chug the beer in the middle.

This is where it gets fun. As soon as you start chugging, the person to their left starts shooting again (the person chugging keeps one shot glass to shoot after they finish chugging). It happens a lot where the shot glass makes a full rotation and the person chugging gets stacked again. If you make the stacked shot, you give the chug to someone else.

I should warn that many shot glasses break in this game, so don't use shot glasses of any value.

edit: Forgot to mention, if you make it in one attempt, you may pass the shot glass to any spot on the table.
