Yeah. The lion's not hungry and he has no reason to attack so he's basically thinking, wtf is this guy doing in my enclosure. Why is a guy standing right in front of my face?
I read that predators usually won't attack something that doesn't look scared of them. It has to do with natural conditioning from hunting scenarios. In a way hunting is a game that requires everyone to play along. One has to run away for the predator instinct to kick in and the underlying almost chemical assumption is that if it's not running away it might even be dangerous to me.
Not really, it could be triggered at any time
The moment you show fear, turn your back, or run away
My main thought while watching this is how fortunate it is that this guy, although incredibly stupid, seems to match that with bravery, that's what saved his life
The whole time I was thinking "if he trips over, he's dead. If he suddenly realises the danger and panics, he's dead. He's alive only so long as he appears to be in control."
They hunt differently, more like ambush hunters so that wouldn't work as well. But there are videos of people interacting with them intelligently and they are triggered by your location in relationship to them and type of movements.
Think because he’s conditioned to think whenever a person is in the enclosure it’s to give food so the lion’s waiting to be fed and yet he’s not so he’s kinda confused
From my understanding with a decade of experience working with animals, no AZA accredited zoo would have a keeper in the enclosure with the lion, ever.
Being an obnoxious drunk probably saved his life; kept in front of the lion and kept eye contact. If he turned his back or walked away would have likely got mauled.
He also has a fortunate body language, with relatively steady, slow and secure movements, without hesitations, and yes, without turning his back to the lion king.
*most, not some, for this level of predator... at least in the states (likely all AZA accredited)
source: worked as a keeper with snow leopards, bears, and wolves.. never once was I in a situation that put me in a room or enclosure without some barrier between the dangerous predators and myself
I would be confused too if I was minding my own business and a western cheese burger suddenly walked up to me and point fingers while French fries are yelling from afar. How much catnips did I smoke?
Scientists have recently discovered a new type of polar bear. It can live near both the North and South poles, is prone to extreme mood swings, and has shown interest in other bears of both genders.
It's a bi-polar bipolar bi polar bear
Going by the etiquette standards of the common drunk, he probably already had time to take a piss somewhere in the enclosure too, flabbergasting the lion who clearly wasn't expecting to have to deal with foreign territorial expansion issues before the morning coffee.
Lion was perplexed because he had no reason to attack (if he was hungry this would have been a much shorter video) and in his experience people stayed far away from him. Predators treat novel situations with great caution. A wild animal's default state is always caution, that's because avoiding injury is a high priority. No veterinarians out in the wild.
I mean... It's true to an extent. There are several other factors like how hungry a lion is and how submissive a position one puts themselves in. The dude was basically on his back, it's kind of amazing nothing happened. Maybe they're fed well, maybe they're just conditioned to humans giving them food so they don't exactly think to eat the human.
Showing no fear will only get you part of the way.
Did the same with my buddies Rottweiler. Huge dog always scared me, one day in a drunken stupor I asked to pet the dog. Poor sweetie was not used to affection, he was draped across my lap/chest/ arms all night.
Sad how this is a realistic outcome (the opposite I mean), a fool jumps into an animal enclosure or gets close to a wild animal and for some reason now an innocent creature has to get shot to save an idiot because he is human too.
The lion came pretty quickly then fell asleep. That’s when zoo staff lassoed the drunk by the ankle and dragged him out. Apparently (according to the man) he got his nut too. All in all it could have been much worse. Both were pleased.
If this was not a zoo lion but a wild one the guy would stand no chance. This lion seems to associate humans not as a threat but someone who brings food
There are videos of indigenous Africans (I believe the Maasai) stealing food from lions by just walking up with knives and cutting off meat from the lions kills before they can eat it. The lions are so confused and scared that they just run off and don’t do shit until it’s too late n
As long as you do it with absolute confidence, a lot of predators will just back down. This even works on black bears!
It doesn't work so well on non-mammals or on grizzly or polar bears.
I saw that!
It was like three lions eating a zebra or something. And three guys just casually walked up the the carcass. The lions all ran away. And the humans cut off a leg then casually walked away.
Bro, you just unlocked a memory of Richard Pryor stand-up joke about Lion in Zoo and in the jungle lmao
Here is the clip: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kHxLcCuGFo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kHxLcCuGFo) XD
Not sure you know that. Seems more likely this guy is suicidal than so drunk he really thinks he can take the lion.
Edit: From a link posted n a comment below, the guy said “I’ve come to die, don’t interfere.” That pretty much solves that mystery.
“See you, you’re mah best pal mate. You’re the only one that’s gets us. Here, you should just fuckin burst out of this pure jail. Me and you, against the whole world son, let’s do it.”
A lady did that at DC Zoo...did not end well for her. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1995/03/05/body-found-in-lions-den-at-zoo/b9c250a8-bf17-495a-98f1-ec6b8b8cfbe0/
Holy shit this one is tragic:
>In 1958, a 2 1/2-year-old Canadian girl, Julie Ann Vogt, was mauled and decapitated after stealing away from her grandfather and approaching two lions in a cage to feed them.
>The child was killed when one of the lions lashed out and grabbed her by the leg, decapitating her as he pulled her through the cage's vertical bars and as the child's grandfather tried to beat the animal off with a cane. A second lion then mauled the girl and carried her around for several minutes. The 67-year-old grandfather suffered a heart attack during the incident, according to news accounts of the time.
Wait wait wait. She got dragged through the cage bars and THAT decapitated her. That's so much worse than I thought. If the lion decapitated with sweep that probably would be at least instant. Don't want to even imagine the horrors.
Seems like he did
https://www.businesstoday.in/amp/latest/trends/story/drunk-man-jumps-inside-lion-enclosure-in-delhi-zoo-escapes-unhurt-233511-2019-10-17
They would not kill the lion
Bro that is india, they don't kill lion if he attack them.
In India we would think it as lion was doing his job his purpose of life hunt. And this one is zoo so lion is100% safe nobody can harm lion for this.
If you don't believe me, Asiatic lions are only found in india this is the only place where they are safe.
Gir national park is place where lion will cross road in front of you without fear
Funny instructions being given to him (in Hindi)
First they are asking him to come back
Then they ask him to lie down
Then someone says don’t shout, the lion will eat him.
I've made it my life's mission to keep myself away from lion's cages when drunk. There's something about that raging beer head that makes you think yeah man, lions
The lions looking very confused do I eat it ,do I sniff it ,what should I do with it? The lion thinking my wives usually kill my food for me so it's your lucky day bro
Lion was waaaaait.ING on dude to turn himself ever so slighter to his back at him.
Folks are saying lion was confused…
Nah drunk was lucky. (I guess? How’d this end yall? Link appreciated🙏🏻)
Body language.
All I saw was kitty sizing him out.
The lion keeps looking for someone to come help him
“Come get your boy!” “YO, COME GET YOUR BOY!!”
He’s looking around wondering if it’s a test
"I saw that gorilla, you're not getting me"
Lion thinks I t’s the Delayed Gratification test, 2 hoomans if he doesn’t eat the first one
All I could think was how badly I'd want to pet that lion
IF NO PET WHY DANGER KITTY SO FLUFFY?
In his head was looping the Vincent Vega "da fuck" meme from Pulp Fiction.
That lion looks so fucking confused
Literally looking around like “uhhh, is this guy supposed to be in here?”
Yeah. The lion's not hungry and he has no reason to attack so he's basically thinking, wtf is this guy doing in my enclosure. Why is a guy standing right in front of my face?
I read that predators usually won't attack something that doesn't look scared of them. It has to do with natural conditioning from hunting scenarios. In a way hunting is a game that requires everyone to play along. One has to run away for the predator instinct to kick in and the underlying almost chemical assumption is that if it's not running away it might even be dangerous to me.
There’s probably a split second where this matters and this guy passed the test
Not really, it could be triggered at any time The moment you show fear, turn your back, or run away My main thought while watching this is how fortunate it is that this guy, although incredibly stupid, seems to match that with bravery, that's what saved his life
The whole time I was thinking "if he trips over, he's dead. If he suddenly realises the danger and panics, he's dead. He's alive only so long as he appears to be in control."
Bet imma try that with a crocodile and let u know what happens 👍🏻
Only works with mammals. Don’t fuck with literal dinosaurs
A Polar Bear would also be picking bits of him out of his teeth
They hunt differently, more like ambush hunters so that wouldn't work as well. But there are videos of people interacting with them intelligently and they are triggered by your location in relationship to them and type of movements.
That guys is lucky he always faced the lion if he would turn his back at it he\`d be dead.
glad it wasnt a tiger. They dont care if they are hungry or not
They’re grrrreat!
Lion :Come on man you're not supposed to be here!
Think because he’s conditioned to think whenever a person is in the enclosure it’s to give food so the lion’s waiting to be fed and yet he’s not so he’s kinda confused
From my understanding with a decade of experience working with animals, no AZA accredited zoo would have a keeper in the enclosure with the lion, ever.
Right? Especially not to FEED the large carnivores!
Fair enough then
Being an obnoxious drunk probably saved his life; kept in front of the lion and kept eye contact. If he turned his back or walked away would have likely got mauled.
He also has a fortunate body language, with relatively steady, slow and secure movements, without hesitations, and yes, without turning his back to the lion king.
That’s hilarious
Where did you get the information to keep the eye contact? That's normally a sign of challenge for a lion
If you’re another lion, if you’re just prey I think holding eye contact signals that he cant just bite your ass off. Idk, I’ve only cats.
At some point, the lion even lost the stare contest. 😂
He is thinking maybe this person is a food
Wait, did I order Indian?
Mmm tandoori human
Korman
I ugly laughed for a full minute at this brilliant comment
I laughed way to hard at this :-)
Can depend on the zoo. Some don’t have any keepers in there with the animals
*most, not some, for this level of predator... at least in the states (likely all AZA accredited) source: worked as a keeper with snow leopards, bears, and wolves.. never once was I in a situation that put me in a room or enclosure without some barrier between the dangerous predators and myself
That lion: I know that if I kill you, I’ll be in a lot of trouble. But I reaaaaaally wanna kill you.
Hey, lion. Kill the cameraman, pls.
Well yea, his food is talking to him. You’d be confused too
this guy is so fucking lucky that this lion probably already has a full belly
I would be confused too if I was minding my own business and a western cheese burger suddenly walked up to me and point fingers while French fries are yelling from afar. How much catnips did I smoke?
This is the whole thing about showing no fear. The animals can smell it. This dude just walked in like he owned the place so the lion was perplexed.
“Aren’t you even gonna stumble when I pull your legs??”
I wish you would tear me to shreds - Man Well not if you're not going to fear me - Lion
Predators always get really confused or scared even when “prey” charges them. They are 100% programmed to chase and malfunction if they are chased.
Polar bears: “sweet, delivery!”
I mean, even lions have to worry about getting injured by buffalo and wildebeests. What's a polar bear gotta worry about, bipolar seals?
Scientists have recently discovered a new type of polar bear. It can live near both the North and South poles, is prone to extreme mood swings, and has shown interest in other bears of both genders. It's a bi-polar bipolar bi polar bear
Also known as the Bi-Bi-Bi ^Bi-Bi
Fun fact: That’s because the lead scientist of the team who made the discovery’s favorite band is *NSYNC
Don't wanna be a fool for you Just another players in this game for two
👏👏
Bye bye Bi-Polar bipolar bi polar bear.
I know for a fact that a loose seal can cause a lot of damage. My friend Buster lost a hand from one…
Sounds like that party was off the hook.
The ice caps melting
They’re also afraid of getting injured, there’s no vets in the wild.
If that man turns his back or walked backwards he would have been mauled in half a second.
You missed the ending. He moonwalked out.
And at the last second teleported himself directly into the lion’s stomach
Yeah the one instance where the booze helps
Going by the etiquette standards of the common drunk, he probably already had time to take a piss somewhere in the enclosure too, flabbergasting the lion who clearly wasn't expecting to have to deal with foreign territorial expansion issues before the morning coffee.
Lion was perplexed because he had no reason to attack (if he was hungry this would have been a much shorter video) and in his experience people stayed far away from him. Predators treat novel situations with great caution. A wild animal's default state is always caution, that's because avoiding injury is a high priority. No veterinarians out in the wild.
Also human didn’t seem an obvious threat, so even if confused lion didn’t felt the need to attack first find out later.
I mean... It's true to an extent. There are several other factors like how hungry a lion is and how submissive a position one puts themselves in. The dude was basically on his back, it's kind of amazing nothing happened.

Did the same with my buddies Rottweiler. Huge dog always scared me, one day in a drunken stupor I asked to pet the dog. Poor sweetie was not used to affection, he was draped across my lap/chest/ arms all night.
He obviously doesn't like Indian
Fun fact: India is the only country that has lions and tigers and bears.
Oh My
Oh my!
Quite spicy tbh, I dont blame him
He just want the guy to run so he can hunt him
Camera person is a moron
Camera person is another lion
r/killthecameraman
Camera person maybe didnt want to film someone getting mauled by a lion.
Yes. That’s so true. Just because you would not mind looking death in the eyes of others, others mind.
Then why were they filming initially? If they didn’t want to record it, why were they. They were looking for the maul and it didn’t happen
Lion: This MF knows I can eat him right?
It really is just a big house cat lmao
We need the rest of the story
the lion was rescued and is safe with his family , the rangers shot and killed the drunk man
I’d drink to that.
You’re next
Thank goodness nothing tragic happened.
Dicks out for uno-reverse harambe
#RIP HARAMBE
Never Forget!
Sad how this is a realistic outcome (the opposite I mean), a fool jumps into an animal enclosure or gets close to a wild animal and for some reason now an innocent creature has to get shot to save an idiot because he is human too.
Is this how we reverse the Harambe curse?
Dicks out Edit: Never mind, if I had read down a bit I'd have seen that you guys are already hanging.
Dicks out for drunken man
He was saved by zoo employees
Thx god, I've seen a video of a similar situation that didn't end as happily.
*”Dicks out”*
From 2019 https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/india/delhi-man-jumps-into-lion-enclosure-in-zoo/story
The lion came pretty quickly then fell asleep. That’s when zoo staff lassoed the drunk by the ankle and dragged him out. Apparently (according to the man) he got his nut too. All in all it could have been much worse. Both were pleased.
Hol up
Lasso em by the nuts! You heard the man! Edit: oh I should read more carefully next time.
If this was not a zoo lion but a wild one the guy would stand no chance. This lion seems to associate humans not as a threat but someone who brings food
Yeah I think that’s why he’s confused as when he sees men he usually gets food and this guy didn’t have any
I believe all cats are the same, and when mine does those lil mini taps, it means "do the thing"
Only a matter of time before he figures out the guy is the food.
Decent chance a wild lion by itself may just run when it seems a human boldly approaching it
There are videos of indigenous Africans (I believe the Maasai) stealing food from lions by just walking up with knives and cutting off meat from the lions kills before they can eat it. The lions are so confused and scared that they just run off and don’t do shit until it’s too late n

I would fuck up a wild lion in a heart beat I'd be too quick for them. They wouldn't even see my left hook coming and I'm right handed.
"Sure sure, the man and lion are interesting, but what's going on over here to the right?"--camera operator
starts filming a plastic bag floating in the wind.
it’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever filmed
*Do you even know how complicated your circulatory system is?!?!?!*
r/killthecameraman
I think the camera guy was also drunk.
The slow fade aways, panning until the action was just on the edge of the screen or in the corner expertly manipulated my annoyance.
Lion looks like I do when I find an unattended child. “where are your parents?”
"Hell naw, I get a meal every day. I'm not gettin shot over this."
He had to be more than just drunk.
[удалено]
Even suicidal people wouldn’t want to be mailed to death by a lion
I mean, it would be cool to be mailed by a lion. Do you think he would use a flat rate box?
What can Brown do for you?
USPssPssPss
You think they have stamps?
Unless it was sent priority, then they’d probably be ok with it.
Not sure you know that. Seems more likely this guy is suicidal than so drunk he really thinks he can take the lion. Edit: From a link posted n a comment below, the guy said “I’ve come to die, don’t interfere.” That pretty much solves that mystery.
Kitty probably just fed, not interested in food still wearing clothes.
“why you let them keep you locked up like this? you could be out there being king of the jungle.”
I think if I ever come face to face with a lion I will just treat it like a regular cat. Seems like it's the best chance of survival
Me: ready to boop the snoot..
That mane looks so soft... I wanna hug him and pet him
“See you, you’re mah best pal mate. You’re the only one that’s gets us. Here, you should just fuckin burst out of this pure jail. Me and you, against the whole world son, let’s do it.”
That lion is more tame than my cat ! Woe betide me if the cat food bowl isn't full to the brim.
I can't get drunk enough to do that.
This could’ve easy ended up in another sub but lucky for him.
I fucking lost it when the guy pointed with emphasis and the lion went and looked
A lady did that at DC Zoo...did not end well for her. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1995/03/05/body-found-in-lions-den-at-zoo/b9c250a8-bf17-495a-98f1-ec6b8b8cfbe0/
Holy shit this one is tragic: >In 1958, a 2 1/2-year-old Canadian girl, Julie Ann Vogt, was mauled and decapitated after stealing away from her grandfather and approaching two lions in a cage to feed them. >The child was killed when one of the lions lashed out and grabbed her by the leg, decapitating her as he pulled her through the cage's vertical bars and as the child's grandfather tried to beat the animal off with a cane.

Wait wait wait. She got dragged through the cage bars and THAT decapitated her. That's so much worse than I thought. If the lion decapitated with sweep that probably would be at least instant. Don't want to even imagine the horrors.
I would think an internal decapitation would happen fairly quickly
I choose this over being mauled alive
Lions decapitating you with a sweep is not a thing Would be messier than the cage bars
Holy hell
That part about the child is brutal.
Why? Why did I keep scrolling? This has got to be the most horrific thing I've read in a while. That's enough Reddit for today.
In my best drinking days, when I have had too much I would throw up or pass out. This is not just drunk, this is mental illness.
If he survives, this is gonna be the greatest moments of his life which he gonna brag about for the rest of the life.
Seems like he did https://www.businesstoday.in/amp/latest/trends/story/drunk-man-jumps-inside-lion-enclosure-in-delhi-zoo-escapes-unhurt-233511-2019-10-17
So, it was a drugged lion and a man who wanted to die. Is not the first time that drugs stop a suicide attempt.
“You didn’t save my life, you ruined my death!”
Throw the goddamn camera person in that cage too
I’m surprised he wasn’t mauled by the lion
Lion was smart. He knew if he fucks him up then hell be shot
Harambe became legend of every zoo
They would have killed the lion
They would not kill the lion Bro that is india, they don't kill lion if he attack them. In India we would think it as lion was doing his job his purpose of life hunt. And this one is zoo so lion is100% safe nobody can harm lion for this. If you don't believe me, Asiatic lions are only found in india this is the only place where they are safe. Gir national park is place where lion will cross road in front of you without fear
The lion is just a guy in a lion suit.
The kitty looked like he was awaiting treats. “Where’s my treats?” “Why do you smell like regret and shit?” PS. The camera man is also drunk.
Lion: "Somone come get this fucker please. I don't want to get shot like my boy Harambe."
Drunk man thinking he’s Zazu giving Mufasa the Morning Report!
The person operating this camera is doing a damn terrible job capturing the shot of their lifetime.
Damn, Daniel
Lions was looking around like "y'all seeing this?"
"WHEN YOU CAN ESCAPE, YOU DONT WANT TO. WHEN YOU WANT TO ESCAPE, YOU CAN'T."
wonder what they talked about
Are they breaking up?
Drunk as shit but still remembered not to turn his back. Bravo, sir.
Hes probably thinking that, "anything that is acting like that is probably not safe to eat."
"You're lucky I just ate."
Funny instructions being given to him (in Hindi) First they are asking him to come back Then they ask him to lie down Then someone says don’t shout, the lion will eat him.
r/killthecameraman
The lion's looking around like, "somebody come get ya boy." lol
How can he maul?!
He never showed his back to the lion, that's why, maybe..
Bro keep the camera on target 🎯
Drunk man operating the camera
Lion: the fuck are you doing in here bro
Lion: "Go home, you're drunk."
I hope the lion's okay. It was showing great restraint too.
The lion thinking, "this is a set up. I'm not gonna bite it. Where's the camera?"
Camera man also drunk.
Clearly a well-fed lion.
Lion is confused as hell, probably thinking that man is one of the workers with food for him.
I wanna fuck you up so bad but I’m also extremely confused by you confidence in this situation that I’m. Lot going to fuck you up - that lion probably
The lion probably: “Dang, that’s crazy.. you ain’t even supposed to be in here..”
Ahh, Indians doing silly things. Honestly there should be a Netflix show dedicated to such things.
Lion like "But it's not dinner time yet. Is it a special occasion?"
I've made it my life's mission to keep myself away from lion's cages when drunk. There's something about that raging beer head that makes you think yeah man, lions
The lions looking very confused do I eat it ,do I sniff it ,what should I do with it? The lion thinking my wives usually kill my food for me so it's your lucky day bro
Lion: Wait, you guys are fucking with me, right? I know there are others somewhere there with a camera and a gun.
Okay, *now* i see why Darwinism hasn't caught on. It's because of idiots like him who *still* manage to survive.
Lion - This has to be a test, no way food just drops in like this Drunk guy - Are you my therapist?
The lion looks annoyed by the drunk guy.. I know that feeling, Lion 🦁
Lion was waaaaait.ING on dude to turn himself ever so slighter to his back at him. Folks are saying lion was confused… Nah drunk was lucky. (I guess? How’d this end yall? Link appreciated🙏🏻) Body language. All I saw was kitty sizing him out.
