I went to the Denver Zoo Saturday afternoon to check out what was happening, and all four of the new teenage lions (each one 19 months old) were just lying around in a glass fronted enclosure, sleeping. Like teenagers everywhere, all they seem to do is eat and sleep. They definitely need to be livened up. In contrast, the tigers will soon be getting a new one acre compound called The Edge that the zoo promises will "offer several unique ways to safely connect with these magnificent creatures." I assume that means you will be able to feed, pet, and maybe even have your photograph taken next to one of them. Why can't they do the same thing with the lions? A least have some young intern go into the compound every hour or so and give them each a poke with a long pole to get them moving about. Is that too much to ask?
