"Believe it or not, he's just accompanying you guys (he is playing). You would have known from the beginning if he wanted to attack, but hey, A LION IS A LION 😭🏃🏾‍♂️💨"

"He wasn’t even trying. It was just fun. It’s no different from dogs when people have their dogs run beside a vehicle. If that lion wanted to hunt them. He would have. He would have jumped in the back. He would have run hard. That is a light jog."

mavara commented:

"So you see, there is no outrunning a lion and climbing onto the tree😳, and for years you thought that was your solution😏"
