  • Why can't we just let animals live their life in the WILD? Instead we have to shoot some photos of a dumb hippy woman who is the star of a magazine no one will read.

  • @ibsayem1337 Well, what I find interesting is that kalaripayat is an art focusing on pressure points to neutralize (or heal) an opponent. So it's silly that she couldn't apply that art to herself.

    Basically the lion dim mak'ed her.

    But yeah our hominid ancestors were a prey species for big cats, so it's not surprising that she didn't hear anything but he was pretty much in her field of view on approach.

    No MMA for that bitch.

  • 0:49 Yeah right about at this point I would have thought about maybe having TWO guys hold onto that leash.

  • I'm pretty sure the lion was just being playful and didn't intend to hurt her but they can be dangerous even then, as seen here

  • tht lion doesnt like her at all! lol

  • @BTC141 ugh @ period.

  • martial art expert "didn't see or hear or feel the sensation of a 400 pound tiger approaching"

  • @TT1478 That's cool, I know you are a good person. I think this woman might have been having her period and the lion, no doubt, picked up on the scent of blood. The lion keeps on hanging around her even after she is on the ground.

  • @BTC141 i am sure lions are strong and probably didn't feel it, but that kick looked like it did. i'm not saying that the woman deserves to be killed or whatever...i'm not that type of a person.

  • @TT1478 The lion didn't even feel it. Trust me, lions are fugging tough killing machines. A boot to the face looks alot worse than it really is. To a human that would have hurt, but a lion is built to withstand attacks alot more ferocious in the wild.

  • The Lion, the bitch and the horoscope.
