that's so incredibly cute, and actually quite amazing. It reminds me of this similar video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkglYMYbyeo&feature=fvw I get shivers down my spine just watching both of these. The bond is incredible.
Two observations: a) It looks as if the lion was trained to hug her. Look how she moves both hands up and knocks against the cage, like a command for him. They say the lion is a former circus animal, I guess they taught him that trick there. b) I don't want to imagine how you smell after a lion has painted your face with his saliva
One of these days, that's going to go all bad and that guy will lose his head. Seems that always happens at one point or another with wild animals.
That's the one that was in mind when I posted that. Man oh Man! One paw swipe from a lion, tiger, wife, bear, and it's all over! I saw (I believe it was from China) a TV special a few week ago where these so called 'trainers' were wooing the crowds by sticking their heads in the open mouths of alligators! They showed where one guy had a gator snap down on his arm and was lucky to still have it once a few people got the mouth open....................I'll stay in sales, thank you!
