According to the director of the institution Jorge seminoma, the secret lies in its unique method of cultivation and nurturing of animals that require constant interaction with people. The focus is of course large individuals from the family koshachih.
When the cubs are born, trainers from the first days of life are beginning to work on the suppression of aggressive instincts, they need to hunt and fight for food.
Juan José Bianchini, a biologist who is also working with the animals in the zoo Luhanskom, said: "Early learning causes animals to lose their aggressiveness once and for all.
