Toddlers and Dangerous Animals at Recreational Spots
July 4, 2016
It can't be harped on enough, to be careful when toddlers are near dangerous animals that are naturally somewhat predatory in the wild. This is not to say that those in their authority were not careful.
There are some dimensions that need to always be looked at when in an environment where there is a combination of toddler aged kids and wild animals.
Toddlers will nod there head yes, they understand a concept, then for some unpredictable reason within minutes or seconds, they do not seem to understand. Babies brain is constantly forming, taking in new information, developing new ideas and so forth, so, unlike adults, their assessment of a what is involved in a situation can change from moment to moment.
Of course that is if the toddler really understood in the first place, a danger, the gravity of a theoretical situation, the if-then possibilities. Toddlers that have the ability to speak, might say yes, because they are capable of doing so, not necessarily because they have the whole concept of what they are saying yes to under command.
Wild animals, are called that because at the nature, they are wild; no matter how long you train them, there is still the possibility they will break from the behavior they were domesticated into.
When the combination of what could happen at the edges of the possibilities of what a toddler could do, mixed with what is on the edges of animal like a gorilla, crocodile, alligator, painted dog from Africa and other dogs and wolves, lion, tiger, aggressive bronco, bears, even large birds like condors, that last possibility that sits just outside or at the edge of the corner of your eye or the mind's eye, has to be taken into into consideration.
Toward the end of May 2016, is Orlando a toddler was dragged by an alligator in a resort, between 2 to 3 weeks later, there was an incident at a zoo in Cincinnati involving a gorilla.
