Can You Sit With Lion? Why Lions Are So Voilent?

I haven't tried to sit beside the lion. But I tried to sit beside the tiger. It's in a park. I sat close to the tiger to take photos. Frankly, I felt a little scared to it. The first photo is me and the tiger http://www.yourhero.net/photo2.htm

Well they are animals and they are predators that is why they have to look ferocious and that. I think that is their nature they need to be violent to survive because their only source of food need to be hunted before they can really eat and survive.

Lions are not violent, they are predators, they hunt like any cat. A full lion ajusted to people is as safe as a house cat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adYbFQFXG0U

Lions aren't violent, they normally kill for food but after eaten then they will not attack again..though if you sit with a wild lion then you will be attacked as you are a stranger on their territory, just like you wouldn't want a theif in your home or you would to protect it...is the same with a Lion as they will see us the same way and we have to be aware they willattack uu..so no I wouldn't sit with a wild lion but will with tame ones...littleowl

Lions are predators. It's just in their nature. I might sit with one that was used to humans if a trainer was right there, and if it were a cub I definitely would.

Hi Ganesh, Lions are violent and thats the reason they are termed as wild animals. Not only a lion, tigers, cheetahs etc are also violent, can you go and stand before a tiger? Its because not that they hate human beings but because they are created like that. There are many other wild animals and animals before whom we can't at all stand, they are infact scared of human beings and behave like that. Sitting before a lion can be easily told in words, and to prove it requires lots of guts.

While lions do not usually hunt people, some (usually males) seem to seek out human prey.i can sure sit with a stuffed lion. happy mylotting.

Yes, I don't think, anybody can sit with a fully alert lion except, perhaps with pet or circus animal. I think, all carnivorous animal are violent by nature as every other animal, including humans are either their food or perceived as competitor.

It is their instinct and in their nature.They are meat eaters and they are territorial.They are not meant to fellowship with people yet.

We lions don't hate human beings: we think humans are mostly ok when they don't meddle in our affairs and our environment. But humans are very unpredictable animals which is why sometimes lions attack them in self-defense. Humans also make a convenient snack if they get too close to us at lunch time :) I actually came to wonder why people are so violent towards animals, nature and each other and I can only come to the conclusion that humans are frightened of everything that they don't fully understand and control. Including themselves.

Hi Gamesh44, I am sorry but I don't agree with you that lion are violent, Lion should left alone in their own envirement where they belong, they should not have been caged in the first place, would you like to be caged? its people that is violent, look how they treat animals, they are cruel, why would you like to sit beside a lion, they just want to be left alone and not bothered with, they want to be free.

See, first of all you don't know about animals.. and thats why you are telling that Lions are so violent...... Lions are afraind of men, they thought that you will catch them for your prey.... immediately when you see lion or any other wild animals, they try to escape from you with a great sound..... but, when you are shouting, they thought that, yu are attacking them and for the protection, they are attacting you.... this is the thing happens in the forest.....

Hello my friend Ganesh44 Ji, First of all , I congretulate you for your '999' post figure. Well, as you say, I have so far nevr dared to sit near Lion, also never thought of that. Only I have witnessed this senerio at Circus, where Lions are trained. They are wildest and voilent among all animals, it is in there nature so people are afraid to go there. But if tamed, they do not harm them. May God bless You and have a great time.

No lions are peace loving animals. you may not accept this let me make it clear did you ever seen a loin which is not hungry and has enough food in front of it hunting same example i shall follow first i will feed the lion and keep the food in front of it so that it can't eat further because it stomach is full now i will enter the cage and sit with it it's simple

I can't understand why you think they are violent. Please see this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adYbFQFXG0U It is one of the most viewed on youtube. They are lovely beings just like the rest of the animals. It's only that they are wild animals. And good for them they attack if we try to get too close. That way mankind don't influence their territory too much.
