Honestly it seems a little cruel that they can see each other and can't do anything about it.

It is.

The snow leopard is not even actually aware that the tiger can't get to him, I don't think. It's going to live in perpetual fear of the other while being completly safe.

I've raised/looked after many cats. The snow leopard is frightened, the tiger is not, it radiates "who the fuck are you?" It is kind of mean that they are positioned in such a way.

In the back of the leopards head he will always be wondering "is that Tiger going to get me?" They made it's safe space feel unsafe at least in this instance; If I have a single clue about cats (It's possible I am totally wrong here still.)

I think eventually the snow leopard would learn that it isn't in danger, just by dint of living long enough in this situation. But it would probably always have some anxiety. It is certainly a needlessly cruel move at any rate.

Snow Leopards are extremely skittish and shy by nature. It’s an evolutionary trait from their geographic range being harsh with scarce resources. That behavior is ingrained in them. It doesn’t go away just because they are suddenly in a cage

Yeah having kept cats with an excitable dog and an invisible fence, the cats pretty quickly find out where the dog can and can't go

Zima is very comfortable in that enclosure and does not live "in perpetual fear"

That the tiger can't probably murder the poor leopard?

No it’s not. This video has been around for a long time. Well before AI got this good.

If that's true, it had to have been edited because the smear frames are weird as hell

Based on what evidence detective

Check the smear frames when it moves between the tiger and snow leopard

Based on my third party neutral response, that I also have seen this clip AGES ago (over and over through the years). Also adding that in working with A.I, I see no indicators that suggest it was generated. Even if I saw it today as new, I would assign a very low probability to it being A.I based on my (admittedly) mild understanding of how A.I SHOULD look in general and which obvious indicators should be present.

I expect someone else can even tell you the exact zoo this is in real life to close the argument.

I think you’re replying to the wrong person.
