How do Lions, Tigers, Leopards and Cougars like to eat watermelons? Watch this video to find out! Every summer we hand out watermelons to the cats that live at Big Cat Rescue as enrichment, they love to play with them and also some of the cats actually like to eat the watermelons!
This is grrr-eat entertainment for both the cats and our volunteers and of course, it's perfectly safe for the cats to enjoy their summer treats!
BIG CAT TV is a close look into the wild cat conservation efforts we support, and the exotic feline residents of Big Cat Rescue who we now support at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. Big Cat Rescue is a registered non-profit 501c3 so your donations are tax deductible.

@slimesauce3044 8 лет назад

As you can see, the beautiful white loin is hunting its prey- watermelon. Watermelons live in a variety of habitats, ranging from treetops to ponds, and are mostly defenseless to the big cats. But they do have one defense, which is their tough shell and unappetizing red insides. Surprisingly, cats like the color red, as seen with house cats and their relationship with the red dot. The white loin sneaks up on the unsuspecting prey, slowly coming towards its hard, grass-like exterior. The lion charges- and boom, with a gaping mouth, the lion snaps the melon in half.

TJ put his in his water bowl...well they are WATERmellons. TJ gets it. About the sugar comment - I think it's processed sugars that need to be avoided. The amount of naturL sugars in a watermellon is probably negligible compared to the water content and also considering the size of those cats. Plus, I'm guessing, watermellons are probably not part of their regular diets. Like vegetarian eating the occaisional hamburger, no harm done.

OK, but using the term "pet" is not a term we find appropriate and can be misconstrued into the wrong thing. We do not treat our big cats like pets, but rather like the wild animals that they are.
