The adorable tot, just two-years-old can be seen watching the male lion crouching by the rock at the back of the large class-enclosed space. the boy doesn't run away, he simply spins around to face the lion, his hand held out as he stumbles backward.
Maybe in his childish innocence he thought the big cat was just trying to come and play.
According to zookeepers the lion reportedly weighs more than 400lbs. They claim he often gets excited when he sees small children and wants to play with them.
Too risky

ReplyDeleteThat lion is hungry, they should better put extra glass 50 glasses there.
ReplyDeleteLike seriously!
DeleteSeems like it wants to play. Wasn't opening it's jaws to take a bite. However, it's quite risky because of its weight and size when compared to the tots
ReplyDeleteHmmm
ReplyDeleteHmm..Abeg o
ReplyDeletePlay waiting.., d lion should do dat play alone.. Hope d glasses are mighty double ones.
ReplyDeleteAs I dog trainer/Behaviorist , what I saw in that video is not a lion that wants to play , that's a lion operating in the prey drive, he had it all planned before leaping !
ReplyDeleteHe just had to wait for the child to back him first before he charged toward him to play? SmH, I doubt it.
