Effects of Random Feeding Schedule on Pacing in Asiatic Lions (Panthera leo persicus). [PDF]
Zoo BiolABSTRACTFor large felids in the wild, intervals between feeding events are irregular since these depend on prey availability and individual hunting success. In contrast, many zoos feed their large felids on fixed schedules. Predictable feeding schedules could induce food anticipatory behavior, like pacing, and randomizing feeding schedules may reduce ...
