See this amazing video of an understandably terrified Steve Leonard walking into a dangerous king lion's den before the lion changes its mind and goes for the attack! Would you be brave enough to attempt to cuddle a creature with powerufl paws, razor sharp claws and gnashing teeth?

  • @StarsShadow Kevin's lions are all rescues that he took in. They can't be thrown back into the wild, they would most likely die. Not only that, but that would disturb the natural boundaries of established lions, causing fights between the new comers and the established, wild males. Also, Kevin would never do this with lions he didn't know, and he raised these from cubs, so not only did he have a role in developing some of their behavior, he also has learned to read their body language quite well

  • This guy must feel like a badass to have 2 lions as his best friends!

  • Flagged for spam > misleading text

  • The lions are running away from some sticks, woopdedoo. Why do people go mad over a video of "Sticks frightening Lions" ?

    The part where the handler and Steve walking backwards was clearly filmed without the lions being there.

    Fake video is obvious, yet so many suckers fall for it lol.

    Ohh no those sticks are so scary..

  • @templedog69 lol, i didn't even notice that. You really recon they did that for show.

  • I would have yelled like hell if that was me lol

  • The thing with all mammals is that you have to show no fear and at the same time be cautious and respectful. Mammals literally sense fear, and fear to them means something is not right and they will start getting guarded.

  • they scared the lions with a stick on purpose to create excitement .

  • these r actually tigers
