INCREDIBLE MOMENT LIONESS SAVES ZOOKEEPER FROM BEING ATTACKED BY A LION

After the zookeeper was attacked by a lion, the dame in shining armour appeared as a lioness and rode through for him. Visitors to a lion enclosure in Las Vegas that they thought was at a hotel received much more than they had anticipated when they noticed two zoo keepers caring for the animals. One even succeeded in capturing on camera the instance in which a lion chose to approach a zookeeper too closely, but fortunately, an unwary hero stepped in to save the day.

Two zookeepers in the lion's pen are seen watching a male lion and a lioness who appear to be resting peacefully on the ground in a since-deleted video that was posted to Reddit. One of the keepers is assigned to maintain eye contact with the male lion, a task that almost proves to be fatal. The tourists can be heard gasping in shock as chaos breaks out when the camera pans away for a few seconds. The lion rushes for the keeper, and the camera quickly pans back.

As the large cat tries to clamp down on his leg, it terrifyingly succeeds in knocking him to the ground. Although his colleague hurries over to offer assistance, the lioness's prompt actions ultimately allow both men to escape unscathed.

She dashes over, lands on top of her mate, and bites at his tail as he stands up. Eventually, she manages to put herself between him and the zookeepers, pushing him away from them until he flees. Redditors quickly sided with the lion, with one commenting: "His body language, his posture." "Challenge" is what it says, and the lion interpreted it as such. "I won't say he deserves to die, but I think the man should never be allowed in an enclosure with a wild animal again and the lion should be forgiven."
