Video: Lion tries to eat baby through glass

The funniest thing I've ever seen was a bunch of chavs at Chessington years ago making fun of a male gorilla. It charged towards them, grabbed hold of the bars of its enclosure and proceeded to urinate all over them. It was like watching them being hosed down by the fire brigade, LOL.

What do people expect - it's a wild animal!

"We're off to the zoo today darling, would you like to dress as a Zebra and sit in front of the Lion enclosure?"

Why not move the baby away from the glass, and not tease the lion, people love to tease animals, so annoying.

I think encouraging a baby to just sit there and say "Hi, kitty" when a lion is trying to attack it is not evolutionary wise.

find this quite disturbing tbh, even if it is toughened safety glass, the thought of putting a child there for amusement in my book is a little twisted

Thank goodness the glass didn't break - the lion could have been badly cut!

Don't believe in taunting animals in captivity,disgraceful.

Poor lion! What sort of people would leave their child there for their filming entertainment. Feel sorry for both the child and the lion.

I am I the only one a little disturbed by this.... Sure there was safety glass there but encouraging the child to look around at a lion wanting to attack?? Seems a little wrong to me.

somehow this clip leaves me feeling very very very very uneasy,
I cannot explain it but the parents idea of humour is ........cant find the words to express myself....it all seem wrong, definitely not funny for me.
mmmmmm
what do you think???

Never play with wild animals
Don't really find this funny, the animal shouldn't have been locked up in the first place
More importantly the irresposibilty of the parents that find it so funny, No doubt they would have sued it the glass broke

OK, Ms Smith, but that lioness looks friendly, it uses its mouth to catch things too, not just for eating, and it is not so stupid, 'It could be that the beast mistook the black-and-white hooded baby for a zebra foal' ...maybe you, Ms Smiths, could make such a mistake. Stop f***in' up beasts!

Very silly on the people in charge of the child, Murphys law, if something can happen it will sooner or later. It is wrong to torment a lion like that.

There are some fools around

jesus christ that lioness had her jaws open so wide.trying to get babes head.oooeer.i wouldnt have felt safe even with the glass there!

Great, place your child in front of a hungry wild animal and film it. If that glass had broken, the lion would be blmaed for being a lion. The idiot mother would of been the victim and the lion destroyed. Humans are the worst. We go and capture a wild animal, break their souls by caging them for the rest of the lives so we can dangle morsels before them and draw amusement from their torture. The mother should be cained for stupidity and the child taken away.

If that glass had broke, the laughter would have quickly turned to screams. :)

Poor animal shouldn't be in cages simply to amuse us.

That looks a really bright thing to do, what hilarious, responsible people they must be
