News From the Wild Kingdom

More lions like this, please. Less like this.

For the record, I'm highly skeptical of the Ethiopia story. Since when has being small, frail, and helpless ever induced in lions a desire to be protective? It never worked for any of those baby gazelles on the Discovery Channel. The behavior of the Minnesota lion (and tiger) seems much more typical of big cats.

And how bad a day was that Minnesota kid having? Usually, being mauled by a tiger would be enough to win you bragging rights over just about anybody. But this kid looks up while they're pulling the tiger off him and what does he see? A lion coming in to take its turn! Yikes.
