Un șarpe hrănit cu un iepure viu la Zoo Sibiu / Primăria explică de ce s-a ajuns aici: unele specii de șerpi refuză hrana decongelată sau moartă / ”Momentul hrănirii nu trebuia să fie deschis publicului”

The Sibiu City Hall apologized for a mistake made by zoo staff who opened a pavilion before a snake finished eating a live animal. This incident was highlighted after a photo of a rabbit in a python's enclosure was shared on social media. The local administration explained that some snake species require live prey for feeding, which occurs every 3-4 months. They acknowledged that the feeding process should not be visible to the public and committed to preventing similar occurrences in the future. The city emphasized that certain reptiles, particularly snakes, only respond to live prey due to their hunting instincts.
