I bet you a million dollars that lion will eat that goat someday.

He's the big billy goat gruff. He's not afraid of anything.

Sometimes if an animal has a total lack of fear response the predator will fail to register it as food.

Makes sense, but it raises the question of what happens when they put the next goat in the tiger pen (tiger gotsta eat).  If the second goat evinces fear and the tiger eats it, will the original goat become fearful, thus triggering the tiger's predatory response?

Not cruel so much as pitilessly indifferent (Nature, not me). I was simply pondering what (if anything) would happen, assuming that the lack of fear on the part of the goat is what made the tiger not eat it.

I remember a similar case with a lioness that kept 'adopting' baby antelopes that were left behind and snuggling with them until they starved to death because they couldn't survive without their mothers milk. I think they suspected she had some issues

Anyway, this is much less disturbing and pretty cute

Tigers are relatively easy to domesticate. Even so it's hard to trust them. A wild tiger would have gobbled down that goat in a minute.
