dan simon for us. thanks, dan. let's get right to wildlife expert jeff corwin, the host of "ocean mysteries" on abc and also the author of "jeff's explorer series, sharks." it's nice to have you with us this morning. you heard a couple of things i thought were interesting. one, a question of whether or not the protocols were followed or if they were ignored. it seems unusual to me as an outsider that an intern would be allowed close to a wild animal like that. >> well, soledad, interns and docents and volunteers are really important and integral to the survival and management of zoos and institutions around the country and around the world. there are many volunteers that have lots of experience working with creatures. but i have to tell you we can't forget how powerful these animals are. it does strike me as potentially dangerous for someone to be alone with a cat like this. you can see a tragic outcome when one potentially loses sight on the absolute predatory ability of these incredible cats. >> that was my secon
