Homo Sapiens: Wise Man

The Tatiana tiger story is turning into heated discussions as to whether tigers belong in zoos and whether zoo visitors should be able to taunt wild animals without suffering repercussions.

You can view the latest news stories at the Big Cats Rescue Sanctuary blog which is doing a great job covering the story.

The following is from the 12/26/2007 Telegraph news story about chimps throwing stones at visitors:

"Visitors should know how to behave in a zoo. Annoying animals could be fatal, as had happened in the Guwahati zoo, where a visitor was mauled to death by a tiger while he was photographing the animal,"said an Alipore zoo official.

Our species is called Homo Sapiens which is Latin for "wise man".
