Stunning video shows moment man came face to face with lion he rescued 7 years before, it jumped on him

In more news about people and lions, Briefly News previously reported that a man ran into two lions he had saved seven years previously in an unbelievable fashion. Kevin Richardson, who owns a lion park in South Africa, took the risk of meeting the lions for the first time after many years to ascertain if they'd remember him.

Kevin had come to the lions' aid when they were rejected as cubs by the mommy lion. He was said to have approached the cubs and taken them to his facility where they were cared for. In a YouTube video on Go Pro VR BTS recording the priceless moment, Kevin found the lions named Meg and Ammy in a river and approached them.

He called out the name of one of them while moving in the water. In an instant flash, the lion seemed to recognise the voice of its rescuer and jumped on him. The wild cat then followed it up with kisses and hugs.
