They say cats are finicky eaters, and that may be true, but the ferocious felines in the video above sure know a good thing when they see it. As you can see, lions, tigers, leopards and cougars will go to great lengths to get their paws on a juicy watermelon.
To be honest, I was a little surprised by their taste for fruit because I always pictured the big cats as strictly meat eaters. Turns out, cats really are carnivores, but they sometimes eat plants and other vegetation. I would have thought that would make them omnivores, but I guess not.
Either way, they sure seem to like watermelon. I’m not really sure if they like eating the watermelon or if they just like playing with it. The leopard around the one-minute mark is the only cat that seems to enjoy eating the watermelon. The rest just seem content to bat it around until they get bored.
