“Should Be the Highest-Paid”: Mzansi Stunned As Brave Worker Casually Enters Lion Enclosure

• A TikTok account shared a video of a brave Pumbaa Wildlife Park & Accommodation worker entering a lion enclosure
• The man casually walked past the white lions to quickly pick up their droppings before leaving again
• Members of the online community headed to the post's comment section to state how brave the man was and wondered how much he was paid for the job

Entering a lion enclosure can be extremely dangerous for anyone without the necessary training and experience, as these powerful animals can be unpredictable.

However, one worker demonstrated remarkable bravery when calmly entering the lions' territory to carry out his duties confidently.

As brave as a lion

The TikTok travel account Jimana Vacations and Tours (@jimanavacations) uploaded a video on the social media platform showing off the lions at Pumbaa Wildlife Park & Accommodation in Mbombela, Mpumalanga.

As the camera rols, a man named James enters the enclosure to pick up the wild animals' droppings. Onlookers behind the wire fence separating them from the lions were surprised and called the worker brave.

In the background of the video, a guide shared that James could be near the wild cats because he helped raise them.
