Boy left terrified after lion almost attacks him at zoo

A young boy got the shock of his life when a lion almost attacked him at the zoo. In a viral video posted on YouTube, the innocent boy can be seen all smiles while trying to pose for a picture with a lion, before the lion tries to attack him. Fortunately, the glass prevented the lion from carrying out its mission.

This is not the only boy who almost got attacked by a lion recently. On Saturday, another lion was filmed trying to pounce on a small boy with his back turned at the Chiba Zoological Park in Tokyo, WND reported. The boy was also saved by the glass that stood between the two of them.

And who can forget the three-year-old boy who fell into the gorilla exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo, resulting in the zookeepers killing the 450-pound male, or the elephant that charged Arnold Schwarzenegger?

One thing is clear, you don't take chances with wild animals around!
