Getting Up Close & Personal With A Lion
11/06/09 - Pretty Cool
“As an enormous lion lumbers onto the bonnet of the jeep and begins tearing up a piece of raw meat, you would expect to see fear etched on the faces of these tourists. But rather than showing any signs of terror, the group are smiling broadly – safe from the big cat behind a Perspex windshield. This incredible Lions on the Edge exhibit, which puts you just inches from a lion’s jaws is one of the biggest attractions at Werribee Open Range Zoo, in Victoria, Australia. Kings of the jungle Tombo and Tonyi are joined by two lionesses in the exhibit. Though it has been open since 2006, the male lions were added just last month – leading to some startling photo opportunities.” w/ photos
