   Subscribe/Renew Journal


Teasing behaviour was observed at the Asiatic Lion exhibit in the Mysore Zoo. An averages of 11% of visitors were teasers. A majority of teasers were males. The hypothesis that the frequency of teasing is inversely proportional to the age-group of the visitor, was only partially proved; and more data are needed to verify it. Eventhough children may be the primary motivators for Zoo visits, they may not be Culprits for teasing.

Abstract


Teasing behaviour was observed at the Asiatic Lion exhibit in the Mysore Zoo. An averages of 11% of visitors were teasers. A majority of teasers were males. The hypothesis that the frequency of teasing is inversely proportional to the age-group of the visitor, was only partially proved; and more data are needed to verify it. Eventhough children may be the primary motivators for Zoo visits, they may not be Culprits for teasing.
