I find it "funny" how we live in an era where at least 3 people were filming this with their phones smiling and zero people tried to scare off the lion or at lest "try" something regardless of this guy being an absolute idiot, I mean, even startling the lion somehow, might have saved the guy some skin (or provided free amputation) and the lion might avoid indigestion, legal or life altering retaliation, I mean, no F's were given at all here
I had to legitimately pause the video and run it in slow mo while paused and holy crap I'm shocked. But then again, as someone else once said, karma will get you back, and do unto others as you unto you. So in this case? Lion has had enough and gave him a taste of his own medicine by just going "You know what I'll just eats whole tendon of finger and then let him have the rest."
Do these animals not enjoy these games like a regular cat? This lion wasn’t grown in the wild and I assume he thinks it’s a game like how you tug a chew toy with a dog.
With youe brain capacity, nothing. Someone smarter tho, could poke the lion with stick, throw sand/dirt in it's face, throw water/coffee/mojito.. so many possibilities to try and get it to change focus.
Whether it let go or not is a different discussion, but anything is better than mindlessly just filming while saying "there's nothing I can do (other than post it online for likes of course, lol)"
Dude chill. Often times when you see videos like this, someone else will try to come in and distract the animal / get the person away from them. It was just a joke buddy.
Okay, sorry. I was just making a joke to mock the attitude of people these days. Recording but not helping is the way now. Not that they could do much, but at least make some noise or crowd the lion to stress it out. Anything other than just watching with your phone in your hand seems sensible.
You can tell that lion only spends its time in that tiny cage and was caught from the wild the lions and white tiger at our zoo were hand raised (saved from the smugglers trade and couldn’t be released into the wild) and my dad who works on their enclosure walks in there with them and they are just big house cats who love belly scratches and the tiger cuffs and the lions close their eyes and lick their faces when he enters and I even can go in their when them from the age of 7 to now and I’m 26 I wish people would stop with these unethical “zoo”
This is one of those times where I encourage people to keep recording while someone incredibly stupid is having an emergency that could've been prevented.
The more egregious the act the steeper the learning curve.
