Regardless of how much you adore big wild cats, they are extremely dangerous animals, and getting too close to them is not a good idea. However, after seeing this friendly lion leap into a car full of tourists, you might just forget about it.
It happened during a safari at the Taigan Safari Park in Vilnohirsk, Crimea, where one of the lions wanted to show everyone he’s nothing but a huge gentle giant. So when he noticed a vehicle full of tourists, the lion named Filya just climbed aboard.
The massive cat showed no signs of aggression, even more, he proved to be very affectionate with the surprised tourists as he started to lick many of them.
Everyone on board appeared very comfortable in Filya’s presence as he begged for belly rubs and cuddling. Some individuals even took selfies with the cute kitten. This wildlife park is notable for allowing its animals to have close encounters with tourists, which is a confusing sight at first.
Even though, you should know that lions, like all wild animals are pretty unpredictable and petting them is as dangerous is it sounds, so be aware of it, next time you get close to a wild creature.
Meantime, enjoy Filya asking for cuddles, in the footage bellow!
