Zoo visitor:
“Aren’t lions vegetarians?”
Me:
“No, lions are carnivores.”
Zoo visitor:
“I’m sure I read somewhere that they are vegetarians. How are they carnivores?”
Me:
“Sir, lions are well known carnivores. They hunt for their food. Their diet consists of mostly meat. They would not survive on fruits and vegetables alone.”
Zoo visitor:
“Are you sure about that?”
Me:
*sarcastically* “Well, if you really want to you, can jump into the lion exhibit to see if they’ll eat you.”
Zoo visitor:
“Vegetarians wouldn’t eat a human, would they?”
