In Lipetsk, the lion Prince caught pranks

In the Lipetsk zoo noticed an unusual violation of etiquette: the lion Prince played with food. Keepers caught him doing this, and the inhabitants of the neighboring enclosures, according to the city administration, met the antics with bewilderment.

Prince himself admits no guilt. He regards the cucumber as a light snack, rather than a full lunch, and in this he was supported by some mustache and feathered neighbors.

The animals voted anonymously to forgive the lion. The prince promised to tighten the rules of good manners and no longer embarrass visitors to the zoo.
