what would you do if you went near a lion

The case is it would depend if the lion is tame or wild, if that lion has a trainer and is meant for circus perhaps I can touch it if the case if there is someone who can do it first , but absolutely lions are scary beasts that one would take caution around them. Despite the fact that there are no lions in the Philippines (one that lived in as habitat) but definitely, I wouldn't allow myself to get near them, otherwise I would be their diner !

If I am lost in a jungle and facing a lion , the preference for me is save my life and not become lunch or dinner for lion. I will try to show him bigger by keeping my hands wide and shout loudly as much as possible. The animals usually don't attack anybody unless you are so near to them that they feel cation from you. I found this trick in TV show hope it works.

I love to see them in the zoo but that is as cloce as I want to get to them

Hi hopejordan. I love all kinds of felines even the large ones, but I don't think I would want to go near a wild lion or other big cat unless it was very, very tamed. I once saw this video though of a woman actually hugging a lioness. In case you want to see it here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2aGwkC3eN0 (NOT a referral link but a link to a video)
