่jonas was not a household pet; he lived at Bowmanville Zoo in Ontario, Canada. When Kevin Thatcher recorded this video in 2008, Jonas was six or seven months old. Zoo employees would take turns taking the cub home overnight so he could be fed every three hours or so and enjoy the company of people.
When he grew up, Jonas became a movie actor when he starred in the film Life of Pi.
{And yes, wild animals do not belong in zoos either}
