A #lion at the #oregonzoo munches on what’s left of a whole carcass. The lions get fed #meat every day, but once a month, they get two whole carcasses as #enrichment! He’s already gorged himself on this calf, but wasn’t willing to give up what was left to the #lionesses yet. Feeding out whole carcasses help keep predators’ jaws healthy and strong, keep the animals active, encourage natural social dynamics within the pride, and educates guests about the reality of top predators and the circle of life. #zooanimals #predators #environmentalenrichment #felidae #cats #wholeprey #gore #deadanimal (at Oregon Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoDFL9Wggo_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tpeohvfdib4i
