“You cannot show him any fear. And, above all, don’t turn and run. He’ll think you’re prey,” said Arrie as we approached Mapimpan’s enclosure. I gulped and nodded.

Arrie entered the pen, as the cameras began to roll. Heart surging, I slipped inside and the gate locked behind me. I approached slowly and bent down to stroke Mapimpan’s wiry underbelly. It pawed at my shoes, rolling on to its back. “He likes you,” said Arrie with a smile.

I began to relax, chuckling with disbelief. Then Mapimpan emitted a low growl as it circled around me. “Remember it just wants to play,” said Arrie, sensing my fear.

That was when the lion clamped its jaws around my calf, its teeth sinking into my flesh.

You'd think they'd realize the point where the lion ISN'T playing around with you anymore (when it jumps up at you, teeth and claws bared) and that you'd promptly GTFO. He looks a bit like this other lion man (who knows what he's doing)

That lion was just playing.
If he wanted that guy dead, he would be dead.

He should had left after the first attempt!

Don't lions usually go for the throat when they're actually trying to bring down their prey? I think the guy was right in that the lion was just playing. But playing with a lion isn't something humans should be doing.

I know the lion was just playing, but it was still a frickin' LION! What the hell are people thinking? Would you "play" with a bear, or an elephant? It's called wild life for a reason. Also, everyone knows that play can turn ugly some times. If you've never gotten into a fight with a sibling or another kid when you were playing during your childhood, chances are you don't exist. This guy's lucky to walk out with just a few scratches.

I have to wonder what kind of mindset a person must have to think he can walk into a cage with a lion and presume that they're equals. "I can use my brains to control this situation," I suppose. Maybe. Maybe not. Luck would have a lot to do with the outcome. And I'd rather risk my life savings on a roll of the dice than risk being viciously mauled to death by a lion when the interaction was totally voluntary. The reporter's a dolt for going in that cage, and the lion's handler is a dolt for allowing him to enter.

This is just so stupid that it's blowing my mind.

They can sense fear. He`s quite scared. He enters the cage.

Bravo.

If only there were some deterrent to keep him out of that cage, say a ferocious animal inside or something.

yeah, when i think "mauled", i think a little more graphically than some scrathes and a puncture wound. but that's me...

That was a lot of heavy breathing. I thought the camera man was having a heart attack.

"Ah that was nothing" reminded me of "it's just a flesh wound!" from monty python.

Lions are not meant to be played with. Look at Siegfried and Roy who worked with huge tigers daily for years and years, and still (nearly fatal) incidents can happen. This reporter had a little too much machismo for going in there in the first place, and it could have ended much worse.

But I'm sure he got laid that night

Har har.

(Or, y'know, the sign on the cage shown in the thumbnail: "DANGER. Stay behind the barrier. Do not touch the animals.)

I had a cat that would attack my hand, biting, scratching with all four claws if I ever rubbed his belly.

To me, this outcome was expected.

Same here Payback, my cat has scratched me up good 'n' proper. I would not go near something similar that is about ten times the size.

Is it wrong for me to be laughing through most of this?

Knowing how cats play and they can still hurt you, you have to be pretty crazy to play with a lion.

That wasn't the camera man, the writer was mic'd. To be fair, if I was wrestling a lion, I probably would be breathing hard to.
