I did a tour of Tippi Hendren's "Shambala" big cat rescue preserve outside of LA a few years ago (highly recommended!). Before we started the tour, a guide demonstrated as to why we shouldn't put our fingers through the chain-link fence.
Standing outside an enclosure of a Jaguar (that happened to have a condition causing it to suffer vertigo), he held a piece of raw chicken through the chain-link. The cat lunged at the trainer/chicken from appx. 30' away and was able to snap at the chicken/finger snack so fast the trainer barely had enough time to pull his hand away.
Totally amazing...a sick cat weighing over 200 lbs. moved 30' before you could blink. And he did so silently.
