First on the Red Panda Minion list is the lions. The Virginia Zoo has two adult and four "cubs", I say "cubs" because they're fairly big now, kind of....teenage lions. The best part about lion watching (in between panda visits) is their behavior around small, screamy, prey things, AKA children.
You'll just be sittin' there, hanging out with the lions, when a small child comes running by, usually screaming or squealing, making quick darty movements. The lion in question will instantly go into "Hey! I bet you would taste fantastic!!" mode.
I find this highly amusing. (yes I'm twisted and probably going to hell) The parental lions have obviously figured out that they aren't getting any tasty little children so don't act particularly interested.
