A video from last year is getting quite a bit of attention once again.The video shows a lion opening a car door of a family who is on a safari in South Africa.
I've always believed that the lion was king of the jungle, right? In a Kenya Wildlife Reserve that may not be the case, as you'll see in this video a lioness was gored pretty severely by of all things, a buffalo. I will warn you though, the video is very graphic but it does have a happy ending, check it out.
Oh I love big cats! Yes, lions and tigers! I think the movie Born Free is to blame! Watch this little girl sing to a big ol' lion at a zoo and see what it does.
Here is a beautiful story of love, trust and friendship but it's not between humans but human and animal. Two conservationists took in a lion cub after she was abandoned. She shows affection for the two men but hasn't forgotten she is a lion.
Lions aren't usually one of those animals we go "aww!" over. They're actually sort of scary — that is, unless they come in dog form. No, seriously! Remember when we introduced you to that poor lion pup who got the cops called on him? Well, it turns out there's a whole bunch of fellow lion fakers of the canine variety out there, and they couldn't get any cuter.
Here in the United States, a kid might spot a turtle during their walk to school. And if he or she is the curious sort, they might pick it up and bring it in for show-and-tell.
Things are little different in Russia, where apparently lions roam free. School children in a Southern Russian village ran into one of these beasts -- a cub -- and brought the furball in to their teacher.
