One of the scariest and funniest things I ever saw. During a school trip to the Toronot Zoo. One of my classmates thought it would be a good idea to press his face against the glass of the lion enclosure. When the large male lion leap at and hit the glass there was mayhem. My classmate ran, jumped and ran like hell. I can still see the glass rippling from the impact of the lion. E. DeLong…you’re lucky to be alive.
Actually, the lion enclosure at the Toronto zoo includes a large window at ground level. The male lion is often sleeping with his butt pressed up against the glass/plastic(?) giving all the kids a good view of his fuzzy nuts.
The best part about that original video was when the mother afterwards told her crying toddler that “The lion was just trying to give you a kiss!” way to go, mum.. I hope he remembers that when he’s on Safarin in Africa in 15 years or so.. Click the link in the name to see the original vid posted on “Tots and Giggles!”
I remember that at the zoo the pumas would always lock on to whoever looked the most vulnerable. They would just pace back and forth, never taking their eyes off of them.
I’ve seen the exact same thing. A pair of cougars at the zoo were looking quite bored when a kid in a wheelchair rolled by. They perked right up and tracked that kid. It was creepy…
“HAY GAIZ! WHATCHA — ohh…”
Silly lion, kids are for pedobear!

Good thing the glass is thick
inorite?
No, it’s glass.
er… I don’t believe he’s referring to inorite-(non-existent mineral), I think he’s referring to inorite?(shortened expression for “I know, right?”)
er… it was clearly a joke you sarcastic little piss hole
Gee. A cat. That can jump up onto things. And some stupid people that really thought they were safe from it. Excuse me while I wish it had eaten them.
Gee, the way they’re acting you’d think they’re at a zoo or something.
You’ll have to humour Sarge. He’s having the longest period ever known.

PARKOUR LION!

Probably thinking that he could escape.

In the original video, it doesn’t seem like the lion hit the glass. More like he jumped up to check things out real quick.
Lion: Oh look! A way out! those hoomans be standin on sumthin rite? I’mma gunna LEA-oh catnips it was a window! ~lion falls back down~
With glass -> “Terror jump”.
Without glass -> “Horror jump”.
I hope they sell clean underwear at that zoo…
By far, the best comment in this thread.

would that mean if you were a fat guy humping the glass it would get annoyed and rip off your crouch?
Suddenly,…lions.
One of them!
