(#18) Welcome To Dead Lobster
From Redditor /u/The-Dudemeister:
"I work in a restaurant not a zoo. However one little known fact is that the lobsters you see in the lobster tank are not fed. If one breaks one of his bands and manages to get his claws free, they'll generally start eating the other lobsters."

(#17) Birth In Reverse
From Redditor /u/Shastarooski:
"We were at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha looking at the mongoose exhibit. One of them was giving birth. If that wasn't an interesting enough experience, another mongoose grabbed one of the babies (as it was 'entering the world') and I thought 'Oh, how sweet; that one is taking it to a safe place.'
NOPE. Ripped it's head off and ate it. Man, mongoose don't mess around."

(#16) The Flight Plight
From Redditor /u/namkash:
"Not my story but a friend's memory (he worked at a zoo for one year).
Whenever they received new animals, they put them in quarantine before putting with other animals. Once they received 34 tropical birds from a seizure of illegal exotic animals. After two weeks, a keeper made a mistake and six of them escaped from their cages. Unfortunately, two flew to the jaguars' exhibition (eaten in matter of minutes), one flew to monkeys' exhibition (they beheaded and then ate it), two flew to the lynx exhibition (eaten in seconds), and the last, well, no one ever knew where he went. But two days later his half-eaten corpse appeared nearby the zoo entrance."

(#5) Oh Deer, Oh Dear
From Redditor /u/SeriousBlack:
"One time a deer (not another zoo exhibit, just a normal deer) jumped into the lion pen at the Smithsonian Zoo in Washington DC. The adult lions tore it apart in front of a group of people."

(#10) To Be Fair, This Is Standard Dragon Behavior
From Redditor /u/ShillelaghLaw:
"I was told a story by one of the people who work near the komodo dragons at Disney's Animal Kingdom that a wild rabbit got into the enclosure one day. Some lady started yelling and screaming that they needed to go save it. It didn't take long for the komodo to smell it and suddenly there was no more rabbit.
From what I was told the lady wrote a letter about how no one would jump in the enclosure and help the poor rabbit."

(#15) 'Is It Okay?'
From Redditor /u/DeweyIsOverrated:
"I volunteered at a zoo as a young teenager. Once, one of the baby chickens (that was the owner's grandson's 'pet') got loose and went into the lion and tiger den. This was right in front of a group of about 10 kids all under the age of eight. The lion started toying with it, and the kids started yelling, 'Look they're playing!' before the lion ripped the back half of the chick right off. Chicken was still alive when one of the kids said, 'Is it okay?'"
