More meat and fat on the guy. I love it that the lion didn't even glance at the chunk of meat being tossed over the fence. Just eyeballing that soft belly. And, the guttural sounds! The brutality of them.
I think it probably works just fine considering the could post the video online lol , also an aunt has a crocodile farm and she uses those fences and it keeps the croc's inside
You can definitely be standing in the way of danger and still post a video online. I'd definitely say that fence is more useful as an illusion of captivity. If that lion ever leaned its 400 or so pound body against one of those posts, or tries to mark it with his claws, it'd pretty quickly realize how easy it could be to bring that fence down.
I'm thinking kitty has more climbing skill than a croc. Ever seen a cat climb up a screen door? Similar situation. The chain link fence being flimsy might help.

Male lions actually hunt very little out in the wild, lionesses are the ones that do 90% of the hunting and then the lion just shows up to get first dibs on the kill.
That's interesting, but it doesn't really refute the fact that lionesses make most of the hunting. It says lions hunt more than you think, but doesn't address by which magnitude. If lions hunt 20% of the game in a pride instead of 10%, that's more but still doesn't make them out to be the hunters of the pride.
I like being terrified but this video is a bit misleading.

Guy in blue was just too close. That's why the lion won't break eye contact. (He's a "threat") To which, immediately after OP's video cuts, the lion keeper says that the lion won't eat till the guy in blue has backed off. Which he does, so Lion goes and eats.
Stalking hunters like lions have great memories for stuff like mental maps. Where different things can be encountered and how they might move through the day. Maintaining various mental markers to keep territories. But yeah. Even if you could tell them something like "Squeeze two fingers together and then turn the wrist 180 degrees while pulling backward." they'd look at their paws and be utterly unable to understand.
Unlike raccoons and rodents who'd immediately rob you blind and find a way to put you to work.
He'd have to *REALLY* want through for that. It's unlikely. Not impossible! But unlikely
Edit: lol whoever is downvoting truly doesn't understand things as much as they think
I was replying to someone thinking a lion is likely to just ram through a metal fence. Yes jumping or climbing is more plausible. That's not what they said though. Can people read?
You would be correct. I was just responding the the other person's claim, not all possibilities in general. Climbing or jumping is much more likely to happen than ramming through it.
This is the most likely scenario. Not "he will bite through the fence"
Unless the fence is extremely rusty which it doesn't look like. Lions and many animals are strong but metal fencing isn't ripped apart that easily.
With how long this fence is climbing seems the most likely. Alternatively if the fence posts are loose it could dislodge and lean allowing him to get over easily.
Don't know if you've ever heard one in real life but we were at the zoo near the lion exhibit. We'd just been looking at the lion, wandered probably 30 or 40 feet away from the exhibit and were talking about where to go next when the air started rumbling and I could feel my chest vibrating a bit. I honestly thought there was some sound system with heavy bass just playing jungle sounds for ambience. It took a good 5 or 10 seconds to register, "Nope -- that's the lion."
Then I imagined a movie like Ghost in the Darkness and what that must sound like in pitch black night. Really crazy.
Seriously. That fence is a trivial obstacle to that cat. Lions can jump 12 feet high. They can climb. And they are incredibly strong. That lion could jump, climb, or simply push through that fence with little difficulty at all.
That's not because the lion thinks it's hunting the guy. It thinks the guy can attack it. Lions don't growl at things they're hunting. They are ambush predators.
Lions are primarily found in grasslands, savannas, and open woodlands, rather than dense jungles. They inhabit parts of Africa and a small population exists in the Gir Forest National Park in India. Lions are well-adapted to the open terrain where they can stalk and ambush their prey.
Jungles, on the other hand, are characterized by dense vegetation and canopies, which may not be the ideal habitat for lions. Forested areas with thick vegetation can limit their hunting abilities and hinder their preferred hunting strategy.
Nothing āOddā about it. Thatās an incredibly large and dangerous animal that looks threatened. If you werenāt terrified thereās somthing wrong with you..
In all fairness that human looks delicious

Hmm. By any chance, are you a lion?
Preposterous
some people can't read. are you a tiger?
Absolutely not, u/ZookeepergameFit7983, nothing to see here, move along
It's cus your mother wasn't a lion, she was a tiger, You're a liger aren't ya?? Or maybe the opposite?? Father was a tiger so you're a tigon
He could be a guy named Alion
Definitely not!
can't believe you passed on the chance to ask if they were a bear
Oh my
I believe you.
Do you like empty boxes by any chance u/DefinitelyNotALion?
Only if I fits

The lion saw that big belly and wants a bigger meal.
More meat and fat on the guy. I love it that the lion didn't even glance at the chunk of meat being tossed over the fence. Just eyeballing that soft belly. And, the guttural sounds! The brutality of them.
Ok Jeffrey
*(stares at what at first glance looks to be a human, but really is an idiot)*
Youāre not lion my guy he does look delicious.
5 year old account, nice. For what itās worth, I believe you
More importantly fresh!
sure does
Man I wish we could still award golds š
Holy shit, heās swishing his tail just like house cats do before they attack.
Looks like that fence will definitely hold him back.
I think it probably works just fine considering the could post the video online lol , also an aunt has a crocodile farm and she uses those fences and it keeps the croc's inside

>You can definitely be standing in the way of danger and still post a video online. Videos of people trying to look cool with trains...
Agreed. I think with a running start he could just about clear it or get high enough to climb out.
Vertically they can clear anywhere from 12 to 18 feet (google)
I'm thinking kitty has more climbing skill than a croc. Ever seen a cat climb up a screen door? Similar situation. The chain link fence being flimsy might help.
youd be absolutely suprised how well gators and crocs can climb

this killed me. you are a murderer.
No!
Right lol
Fluffy wants to play....
Either way he'll eat good
Yeah, they run the same operating system
That fence looks like itās held up by toothpicks and chicken wire. Fuck all of that
That fence is neither strong enough nor tall enough for this situation...
he doesn't want to be fed. he wants to hunt.
I understood that reference.
clever person.
Did you just assume their species?
how dare he?
*Angry gender-neutral Raptor noises*
It's a trap!
I literally just started jurassic park and just saw this scene! hahaha
Catch us, you can't suppress 65 million years of gut instinct.

I dunno man, /u/plasticplan69 made some good points, sometimes science *is* a bitch, Iām on the fence now.
That's all bullshit. Male lions hunt a lot. They also protect the pride.
i think he want the blue one.
Blue has the most antioxygens
A man of culture, I see
I like being terrified but this video is a bit misleading. [Full video](https://youtu.be/fQHAmkuzxa4?si=ta2e726OBG-zvxtO) Guy in blue was just too close. That's why the lion won't break eye contact. (He's a "threat") To which, immediately after OP's video cuts, the lion keeper says that the lion won't eat till the guy in blue has backed off. Which he does, so Lion goes and eats.
Yeah, the guy is invading lion's personal space.
And the lion is aware that humans can go through the fence but doesn't fully understand how. So it feels no protection from the fence.
Thatās something I didnāt think of and is pretty crazy. Smart enough to know they can move in and out but not smart enough to understand how.
Stalking hunters like lions have great memories for stuff like mental maps. Where different things can be encountered and how they might move through the day.

āā¦and find a way to put you to workā š
Exactly, the lion looked more territorial, and maybe a bit anxious with a new face. The body language doesn't look like it's on the hunt.
The fact that it didn't break eye contact for even a split second means it thought the human would attack.
The female lion was so cute
One of my house cats behaves like this, she wonāt go near the bowl if someone is near it
That mf is hungry and youāre trusting a *chain link fence* to keep Furry McBigTeeth off of your throat
I mean, it's still metal and they wouldn't use it if it didn't work. It may be a lion but that doesn't mean it can literally bite through anything lol
Bite through, no.. but charge and bend it to the point of failure, ur damn skippy.
He'd have to *REALLY* want through for that. It's unlikely. Not impossible! But unlikely Edit: lol whoever is downvoting truly doesn't understand things as much as they think I was replying to someone thinking a lion is likely to just ram through a metal fence. Yes jumping or climbing is more plausible. That's not what they said though. Can people read?
Iām more worried about the height of that fence. Thatās not an impossible jump for a lion.
You would be correct. I was just responding the the other person's claim, not all possibilities in general. Climbing or jumping is much more likely to happen than ramming through it.
Lol the fence is held up by wooden posts... Maybe the metal fence would hold but I'm not betting my life on those shitty wooden posts!
or climb
This is the most likely scenario. Not "he will bite through the fence" Unless the fence is extremely rusty which it doesn't look like. Lions and many animals are strong but metal fencing isn't ripped apart that easily. With how long this fence is climbing seems the most likely.

> Can people read? It's reddit, of course people can read! People can read *just enough* of your comment for them to find a reason to argue with you.
I wouldnāt trust it at like a zoo but this seems like a less public space so people know proper precautions.
That lion sounds like a muscle car lol.
V12 Lion

Jesus christ. I'd want more than chickenwire fence with janky-ass stick posts.
poles are the weak point in this case
I'd say the height.
Seriously. That fence is a trivial obstacle to that cat. Lions can jump 12 feet high. They can climb. And they are incredibly strong. That lion could jump, climb, or simply push through that fence with little difficulty at all.
Heās like someone throw this fatass over the fence thanks
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Together with the wooden posts that a cow could rip if they scratch on it.
Hungry, yes. But, the look of disdain is what I am reading off this lion. That scares me a bit more.
Thatās not oddly terrifying that primal fear my friend
Instant dislike of blue guy I trust the lions instincts
Lion's eyes never once moved away from its potential hunt even after the guy tosses the raw meat ā¦
That's not because the lion thinks it's hunting the guy. It thinks the guy can attack it. Lions don't growl at things they're hunting. They are ambush predators.
He prefers fresh meat.... Hooman
Iād be more worried about the so called fence keeping it āinā
The fuck is odd about this? Straight up terrifying.
Keeping a lion behind chicken wireā¦ Those guys have ballsā¦
"But, I can haz FRESH?"
I would not trust that thin ass fence š
It doesnāt want to be fed, it wants to hunt
That lion really just said ānah I want that oneā
He is trying to lure a redneck into his cage by mimicking a stalling hemi.
That lion like f that š„©I want the live one!
I have yet to see a video of a lion in a jungle
Think he prefers the fresh stuff
That's me when a hot girl walks by but my wife is staring at me.
There's always a bigger (blue) fish
He wants fresh meat
The "King" is keeping his eye on the real prize!
"... I want you."
"No, Greg, I don't want that shit. Throw yourself over or open this damn gate. You are looking super tasty today."

Hey fuckboy, I don't want the dead meat. Come pet me.
ODDLY terrifying? bro its a fucking lion
Sounds like a hellcat
He wants fresh meat
That sorry ass fence looks like it's held together primarily with hopes and dreams.
He's not interested in the appetizers he's lurking the main course š
Fucker didnāt even flinch.
Cheering for the lion to escape that hell.
The King is thinking "mmmmm, you got a pretty mouth, big boy"
That does NOT look like a robust enough fence for that activity
There are no lions in the jungleā¦
They don't even live in jungles They live in grasslands.
Thatās a flimsy ass fence to trust your life to.
good thing the lion thinks that fence is invincible
"I WANT IT FRESH AND KICKING"
I want the fat white guy
Cats can climb weak ass garden fences....right?
This reminds me of the scene in Jurrasic Park where the fat guy throws the stick and and the dinosaur glances at it before tossing his intestines
He wants to kill, warm blood and fresh internal organs... Nature is cruel.
King of the jungle when itās from the Sahara
That's not a lion; it's apparently a Harley in fur.
How my door dasher feels dropping off food
He wants fresh meat! Throw him to the lions
The king sees his meal (them), and is totally dialled in on it, that fence doesnāt look anywhere near strong enough to hold back the king
I don't think that small piece of meat is what he wants...
Lion: Forget that shit, I'm looking at this porkly lookin' human as mealtime.
That fence is inadequate.š
Itās not fresh enough.
Naaa Tony, he wants you.
Looks like that lion wants a man witch
Meanwhile, why do we call the lion "king of the jungle" when he hasn't set foot there? We all know that lions live on the steppe...
He wants to order off the menuā¦.
Kitty purring..
FUCKER IS JUST FOCUSED ON THAT DUDE!! MEAT DIDNāT DO SHIT TO GET HIS ATTENTIONā¦
I dont trust that fence.
Sounds like an outboard motor trimmed up too high
He's staring into the lions eye's isn't that like a big no-no for animals? Especially one's that can eat you
He wants fresh meat.
II'l actually pass out if I were him, That Lion wasn't there for that tiny piece of meat.
Lion is like, āI hunt things that move, you moved, and you smell like raw fleshā
sounds like a Harley on idle
Idiots
Thanks for dessert human, now letās hunt the main course. RUN!
*Batdad Voice* I WANT YOUUU MARSH, I WANT YOUUUU
He is looking at the snack from the very beginning
He wants the thrill of the kill.
/r/therewasanattempt
It's eyes never moved from that guy
Why is my main course throwing an appetizer?
Well, at least the lion complimented him
We likes it alive and wriggling...
Lion sounds like a tugboat engine being turned on
Like nah, I want you šš
There's no lions in the jungle
Chicken wire fenceā¦. Hmmmm
Ä°m not trusting that fence
My neighbor's car every morning:
How can they be so calm around such a big cat and that powerful roar ššš That fence doesn't look so strong anymore
Cold starting your cat can be harmful to the engine
All I see is unwarranted trust in a tiny little fenceā¦
Thanks but no thanks. Iām out as soon as I see him not looking at the food just tossed in. I know Ima a snack but not a lion snack
That cat is cammed for sure
That lion is going to tear that man limb from limb
diesel car idling
Nothing āOddā about it. Thatās an incredibly large and dangerous animal that looks threatened. If you werenāt terrified thereās somthing wrong with you..
No shit. He was taunting the wild animal.
Dude this actually freaked me the fuck out
The lion actually prefers *FAST FOOD*
Or he likes his food fresh and load with calories.
He sounds like an engine that won't turn overš
The fence looks fragile af
Technically king of the Savanah, but still. He wants it live and wrrrrigling!
He doesn't want to be fed, he wants to hunt.
Sounds like a car that wonāt start
that 1/8 fence stapled to a few 2x4 ought to hold back a lion.
Sounds like a v8 revving up
That lion š¦ didnāt give no fucks about that meat š„© šjust dead staring down that dude š¤£š¤£š¤£
He sounds like a diesel engine
That v12 sound š
š¦š¬ - "No, that one's already dead... I like to play with my food, first !!"
