Visitor behavior (teasing) at the Asiatic lion enclosure in the Mysore Zoo
1994  Zoo's Print (9): 67-70

Teasing behaviour was observed at the Asiatic Lion exhibit in the Mysore Zoo. An average of 11% of visitors were teasers. A majority of teasers were males. The hypothesis to the age-group of the visitor, was only partially proved; and more data are needed to verify it. Eventhough children may be the primary motivators for Zoo visits, they may not be culprits for teasing.
