Solution

In the zoo at Lusaka, there is a cage with a notice that reads ‘The world’s most dangerous animal’. However, inside the cage, there is no animal but a mirror which shows the visitor's/person's reflection.

The notice signifies that man is the most dangerous being on this planet. He is not only responsible for the deteriorating condition of the planet and depletion of resources but also poses a danger for other living-species. A human being is far more destructive and threatening to the ecology of the Earth than any other being. Thus, the cage in a zoo in Lusaka, Zambia, only tries to open our eyes to the aforementioned fact.
