No matter how much you like big cats, you should never approach them too ᴄʟᴏsᴇly since they are tremendously ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀᴏᴜs animals. However, you might forget about it after witnessing this amiable lion charge into a car full of tourists.
One of the lions at the Taigan Safari Park in Vilnohirsk, Crimea, wanted to prove to everyone that he is nothing more than a huge, devoted giant during a safari. The lion, Filya, noticed that the car was crowded with passengers as soon as he got on it.
The big cat showed no signs of aggression and even proceeded to give a few of the guests a thank-you kiss. Everyone on the ship was eager to hug and belly rub Filya, and they all seemed to enjoy being around him.
Some even photographed the adorable kitten. Although it can first seem unsettling, this wildlife park is renowned for allowing its animals to mingle intimately with visitors.
Oleg Zubkov, the park’s owner and the driver of the car, said it was a friendly encounter. Although Vitya, another lion, had bit a wOᴍᴀɴ’s elbow while on a safari, Filya was friendly. The next time you want to go ᴄʟᴏsᴇ to a lion, be cautious because, like other wild creatures, they can be unpredictable and touching them can be as ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀᴏᴜs as it sounds.
