1. Obviously hand-reared, but I admittedly would love to cuddle with them...

Still potentially dangerous--even if unintentional.

Plus, I'm a Leo!

2. Would be exciting

but my fear would be palpable. These are not kitties.

Thanks!

11. I read it on kindle. I hope i got the name right!!!

12. I think I found it!

"Zamba: The True Story of the Greatest Lion That Ever Lived" - is this it?

[Karadeniz]

13. Yes! Zamba was probably the first to show that a hand reared wild beast can

completely become a member of clans of different species. More than clans...complete strangers! That crossover doesn't wear off, as we see nowadays in videos of hand reared monsters gleefully "greeting" their caretaker after years of separation , after release into the wild. I just remembered Elsa.

Just in case you haven't seen the video of Christian the lion's reunion with his rescuers...and I'm sure you have... make sure you plug in his reunion with Whitney Houston's I will always love you as the background music. Tears me up every time!!!!!

6. Those folks on the bus

Don't seem frightened at all...and those lions greeted them so happily and apparently affectionately.😊

10. The lawyers forgot

Scurvy!

(There's sometihing so creepy about "degloving"............... yuck!)

14. Best thing I've seen in a long time

It's nice to have something to smile about these days.

15. Ah thanks, Grim Chieftain!

I agree that we should all look for the bright things in life, especially when spirits are so low.
