Default Naughty To See The Funny Side?

In Australia, a lion in a Zoo has attacked a keeper, a tragedy for that person, but these are lions, and apparently "The attack was extremely vicious,", it's a lion.

The picture on the article is of a lion


but to protect it's identity........below the picture is this caption "The zookeeper was bitten by two lions (not pictured)".

It could be just me but I did laugh out loud.

I do hope that they don't blame the lion.

Sadly in a lot of animal attacks in zoos they end up shooting the poor creature, it’s only doing what it is supposed to do!

Presumably at least the lions survived. And the keeper didn't taste very nice.

Begs the question what was the keeper thinking of,trying to clean the enclosure with the animal present and able to attack them? Common sense would tell you that if you want to clean the enclosure of a dangerous wild animal,known to be a man eater that you make sure they are out of the way or somewhere that they can’t get to you. Play with fire and you get burnt!
