A male lion at a Japan's Chiba Zoological Park was recently filmed trying to pounce on a little boy as soon as his back was turned to the big cat.
The two-year old toddler was out on a trip to the zoo with his family when this happened; lion experts say, it would have been fatal had it not been for the glass between them.
It has been pointed out by animal treatment activists that, keeping wild animals in enclosures is a cruel practice and makes the animal more aggressive.
