Dude Tells His Buddy His Lion Doesn't Bite...The Lion Didn't Get The Memo

A social media clip making the rounds shows a man in Albania casually sitting on a set of steps with a full-grown lion positioned directly behind him. According to the post, the man had been reassured that the lion was harmless and wouldn’t attack.

Spoiler alert.
The lion did not agree.

Within seconds, the big cat appears to size him up and then goes straight for his neck, clamping down just enough to make it very clear that this man may, in fact, be on the menu. The moment is terrifyingly fast, and the guy barely has time to react before things could’ve gone very wrong.

Just when it looks like the situation is about to turn into a National Geographic headline, the lion’s owner rushes in and delivers what can only be described as a firm “love tap” to the lion’s face, causing the animal to back off immediately.

Yes. That somehow worked.

Moral of the story:
If someone tells you a lion won’t bite, maybe don’t test that theory with your neck.
