That was weird. The lion was clearly just roughhousing with the guy but the guy seemed very stressed by the situation. Which makes you wonder “why the hell is he casually hanging out in a lion enclosure if he doesn’t know what he’s doing?”

No. If that male goes off, the female ain't intervening. He would have shredded the guy and killed him. The lioness would have sat idly by and watched. She protected nothing.


Ok well I can’t read her mind but she clearly interjected herself into the situation and it helped the dude out

I’d love to hear a Tony Baker voiceover on this…
“Calm down baby!”
“That white boy keep looking at me”
“I know. It’s okay, baby. Let it go”
“Nah, man. I can’t let that shite slide.”

Yeah, I don't understand why people are trying to act like this isn't what happened. The male lion got pissed off at the human, the female lion came in and got him to back off.

I think she was more telling her buddy that the zookeeper wasn't a threat and to back off.

She knows that if her man fricks up the zoo keeper that their little cozy life and A/C and easy food is over.

I’d be lion if I didn’t say that looked like a Russian zoo.

The men being able to fend the lion off like that actually surprised me. Actually seemed like a quasi fair fight for a little bit.

Maybe the lions were drugged or something. A full grown male lion would disembowel a human in under one second.

this video is like 15-years old

MGM Grand hasn't had that lion habitat in their casino since then.

pretty interesting to see the lioness do that. I would love to hear an expert weigh in on the matter.
