Another lion enters the chat
As if one lion in a vehicle wasn't enough, another came to join in the fun. This time it was a male, but it didn't head to the back of the vehicle like the lioness that showed up previously. Even though there were two large cats, no passenger was hurt throughout.

"These are hand raised lions, used to human contact. In the wild, lions are deadly hunters who will attack humans if they get hungry or feel if they are threatened."
@EdwardsEst61342 commented:
"I worry about those interactions. There's always a risk. The animal can start playing rough and unintentionally hurt someone. And I'm a cat lover, but when it comes to wild cats... Gotta be careful."
