I assume he knows the lion very well

Because I was worried for his health for the first three seconds of this video.

After that, I found myself wanting a hug from a lion too.

It's an animated gif on the livejournal photos site. It may take a minute to load, due to crapness at their end.

It took over eight minutes the first time. Much crapness on their end.

Reminds me of the footage of that guy who owned a lion in London in the 60s, sent it off to a safari park when it got too big to be safe, and then went to visit it again years later. Aww!

This one?

That's the one. Aww.

You mean her health. It's a woman :)



"The woman in this video found the lion injured in the forest ready to die. She took the lion with her and nursed it back to health. When the lion was better, she made arrangements with a zoo to take the lion and give it a new and happy home."

Thank you!

Of course the problem with projecting human feelings onto wild animals is that sooner or later someone's head gets bitten off. And it's all about making us feel better about this magnificent beast being in a playpen - that's such a obscene situation I kind of feel someone's head *should* get bitten off. (end of grump)
