In a clip, we get to see something that reminds us all that lions are cute, but they are not tame. The video starts rather suddenly, but we can assume a bit of what is happening beforehand. Two zookeepers are in a lion’s pen, either doing a show or a feeding of some type. We know that whatever it is, it’s a public event because there is a crowd of people watching what is going on. There are two lions and two zookeepers in the frame, and things go south fast. The large male lion decides that it truly is time to bite that hand that feeds him! In a split second, the male lion runs over and begins attacking the zookeeper on the right side of the pen. Amid gasps and cries from the crowd, they realize that this definitely isn’t part of the show. Grabbing the zookeeper’s leg and easily pulling him down, the lion shows just how powerful it is compared to puny humans! As the zookeeper goes down, the situation begins to feel a bit hopeless. Even the world’s strongest man pales in comparison to the average lion. Despite the other zookeeper pulling and tugging on the male lion to let his partner go, the lion seems to be intent on attacking him. Then, from left-screen, something amazing happens. The other lion that was performing with the group at the time, a female, runs and tries to help. Jumping on the back of the male lion, the lioness is much more convincing than the man trying to help! With the distraction, the man is able to get up and run to the side. Still, in some sort of frenzy, the male lion chases after him. This time, however, the female lion intervenes more directly. Cutting the male lion off, she directs him to the side like a friend stopping another friend from getting into a fight. Whatever the reason the male had for attacking, the female knows that it’s in everyone’s best interest to stop it. Watching the video, it’s easy to see that the only thing that can stop an angry male lion is a calm and collected female lion! Maybe lions aren’t all that different from humans anyways, eh?
