Lion charges at a photographer in Pakistan
This lion was not adequately distracted by devouring its dying prey to ignore the photographers that chatted just metres away while filming the heavy-maned cat eating its dinner.
The lion bares its teeth before charging at the people who are only separated from the enormous creature by a flimsy-looking wire fence at a safari park near Lahore, Pakistan.
It roars at 38-year-old nature photographer Atif Saeed from Lahore, Pakistan and his companions, who laugh at the very close encounter with the huge beast.
‘I missed it, I was Snapchatting,’ a male South African voice declares, illustrating the perils of missing real life while glued to a screen.
Mr Saeed said that he got out of his jeep to take photos of the lion but noise attracted the lion’s attention and he bared his teeth and charged straight at him.
Although the photographer initially laughed about the encounter, he later acknowledged just how close he came to death — and vowed to never be so reckless again.
