The reverse zoo story flipped the glass so the animals watched the people. The news reverse zoo is the exhibit where the humans are the ones on display, and the silence on the wrong side is the point.
Lehe Ledu Wildlife Zoo in Chongqing, China, lets their animals roam freely.
The visitors are locked in a ‘cage car’ that drives around the area, reversing the roles between prey and predator.
The point of the zoo is to give visitors the experience of being stalked but with essentially no risk of attack.
The zoo houses lions, Bengal tigers and their subspecies, the white tiger, and bears.
A zookeeper accompanies visitors in the cage and lays out chunks of meat to attract lions. Guests are reminded to keep their fingers and hands inside the cage at all times.
While it does seem like an accident waiting to happen, for many, the thrill is worth the risk.
