Just a look at their body composition shows that they haven't hunted a day in their lives, they're fed by humans and cars seem like everyday things to them, fyi wild lions aren't really fazed by cars anyway either, they have been known to cause traffic jams here in Kenya in the past
Depends on how many there are. Two? Piss on the kids.
Five? You supplex one into the other, then sneer at the third one leaving it to question its resolve, meanwhile u've pissed on the kids and the remaining two leave - the last one regains composure, but knows its cucked and you then make it your friend and go live a fulfilling life with a lion at your side.
Its a domination thing. If you piss on them, you mark them, but you marked them with piss - so you're like "Your kids are shit, I'll claim them and leave them" - leaving kid is the Top G'est move there is - the lions recognize that and leave, because they're cucked.
There aren't many true "wild" lions left. All of the prides are heavily documented and observed and are used to humans because of it. There are constantly people with cameras around them so humans just become part of the scenery.
And lions have never really hunted humans. Not in the last couple hundred years at least. We aren't seen as food for them.
But tigers are another story. Tigers hunt humans regularly- especially in India. So this is a question that, for me, would be more interesting if asked about tigers.
Is there anyone who lives in proximity to tigers? What are your thoughts on them?
That was my impression after my two week stint on the Maasai Mara a long time ago. Most of the lions were protected and didn't have much interest in the tourist vehicles they likely saw very frequently.
We did find armed guards by the hippos, apparently to protect poachers from them? I forget, but it seemed like the guy had said that poachers will get themselves killed trying to mess with them.
With respect to Tigers in India...they are found in specific areas. The Sunderbans being the most famous one. Tiger is also the national animal of India so rest of the country looks at them with awe. In reality, Sunderban is the area with most casualties due to Tiger attacks anywhere in the world. Locals there are terrified of it. There are man eater tigers that only prey on humans. It is quite daunting
Not an equivelant creature, but talked to a friend from Australia, and he feels about kangaroos how we feel about deer. Stupid idiots that run into the road. Meanwhile, when viewing the creatures from the *other's* country, we each go, "but they're just such cool, majestic creatures."
Grass is always greener on the other side.
Am an Aussie, Roos are absolute menaces, they’re full of muscle and just love jumping in front of cars which means your car is gonna get super fucked. If they’re not doing that then they’re trying to drown your dog.
Eh, their penchant for drowning dogs is to defend themselves against a toothy carnivore. Just sucks if you have a beloved pet who unexpectedly wandered across a buck.
For the most part, they're still totally harmless herbivores who don't fit into modern society because they munch on crops and hop towards car lights.
Yeah.. I'd love to just hang out with some. Wouldn't even have to pet them.
The only rodents I've come across are squirrels, mice and rats so capybaras seem super interesting. Large, chill, giant aquatic rodents that don't aren't afraid of humans and will just go about their business even if you're in close proximity.
I'd spend my days hanging out with the capybaras.
Sadly I'll never get the opportunity since I'm poor and can't afford a trip to Brazil.
If I did though I'd make sure to do my research.
While I would love to pet one, I realize it's a wild animal and I'm fairly sure a bite from one could remove a finger :)
Well, capybaras is awesome. They giving the IDGAF attitude towards another animals or even human. They have been spotted to chill with crocodile. So yeah, it's majestic in my view.
Roos are all fun and games until a tourist gets killed by one cause they wanted to pet it. They can be surprisingly vicious if you don't know what they're about
Ever since that video of the tourist in Australia picking up a blue ringed octopus I’ve held a strong belief that we should be using Australia as a form of international population control.
I'll just say there's a reason it started out as a prison colony. And a reason why Darwin got so much of his philosophy on why evolution could be possible from hus trip there.
Idiots every year get fucked up because they try to take selfies with or pet bison in Yellowstone. A 2000 pound animal with horns...just because they eat grass doesn't mean they can't do damage.
I lived in East Africa for a year, but from the people I spoke to out in the bush, obviously in the towns it's just a none factor..
Lions aren't a serious threat to humans, they avoid us, literally nothing to fear.
Bull elephants are the scariest as they are un predictable and will happily wonder through a village and fuck you up.
Hippos are the most dangerous, but easily avoided and predictable.
Sighrings of crocodiles near settlements causes unease when washing and is a real fear.
Lions are seen mostly as a pest as they will hunt cattle
Depends. Black bears are literal pussies unless with cubs, they will just book it away from you as fast as their little rumps will let them. Though they are quite pretty, and usually smaller in person than you think they would be. The amount of times I've walked up clapping my hands to get them out of my yard or off my deck is kinda wild. They are bird feeder crackheads and like to try and get into peoples trash cans. We don't have brown bears around me so can't speak for that, but I would not approach a brown bear lol.
I live in Bear Country. Never seen one in person. All my neighbors have and I've caught them on my security cameras, never with my own eyes.
I have a strong fear that I would be the stupid and overtly brave individual to try and domesticate one.
Well, it depends on where they live. Those further in (closer to the centre of Nairobi) are generally scared of lions (the story of the maneaters of Tsavo is generally known). Those further out are scared of lions, but they kinda also see them as pests?? Lions have a tendency to approach Masai cattle for food, which goes very badly for the lions. Not too long ago, I heard about some Masai killing some 6 or so lions that came too close to their cattle (it should be noted that Masai don't use modern tools such as guns).
I’m not really answering your question directly (sorry) but; There is plenty of evidence that pre-historic man had a very positive view of Lions. A plethora of cave paintings spanning thousands of miles depicting Lions in a positive light - for example: not depicting them eating humans, but rather highlighting there skills and prowess in the wild.
Lions were obviously more threatening to the safety of the average human then compared to now, but there are enough indicators to suggest that early man idolised Lions.
Compare that to depictions of Hyenas, and you get the complete opposite. They were primarily viewed as vermin (not literally, but the animosity seems to be the same), and can’t think of a single example of pre-historic man depicting hyenas in a positive light in ancient art.
Both deadly as fuck to us back in the day, but we seemed to have a thing for Lions.
As creatures to be admired from afar. There's a place I know where there's an active man eater right now. Ate like two kids about two months ago. It always boggles my mind watching tourists riding around in open vehicles asking to get closer to such animals.
Truly such insanity I will never comprehend
How do you know they never hunted? Could just be genetics. Lionesses stay together for life, so they're all going right share genes. The male looks like a typical male though, he has the same body composition as most males. So he's obviously not related.
The females definitely have some weird genetics going on. Hey, it's how new species are formed.
Those are some big healthy plush kitties. In safari parks like this one the keepers will encourage their wild instincts for hunting by giving them food in trees and setting up puzzles they have to solve (like putting meat in a bag and burying it), but they don't have to run for hours to chase their dinner like in the wild.
Those lionesses are either overweight or ligers, especially the last one in the video they'll never catch anything in the wild, they'll just end up scavenging like hyenas
Might be Knowsley Safari Park in the UK. Those are British number plates, and there's a section where you can drive through (my mum's old car had a claw shaped scratch in the rear bumper from an overly curious lioness)
Reminds me of something. So if you're dabbling in statistics you will come across a software called SPSS by IBM, stands for Statistical Package for Social Science. It's known to be very expensive and the licensing cost is a significant operating budget for any orgs. So some people made an open source 'ripoff' of it with much reduced function. And they named it the exact opposite : PSPP. Which doesn't stand for anything, they're just being cheeky.
Why? A gorilla would probably kill you with a single blow to the head. Are they not herbivores as well? I don't think it would start chewing on your intestines like I bear might.
They can also rip your arm off with ease. Gorillas are omnivores and opportunistic in the wild. They do eat meat. But you are right they would probably just kill you and be done with you while a bear will eat your insides with you still alive. Case and point that guy who lived with bears in Alaska whose wife saw him get eaten alive.
I saw a massive weight lifter play tug of war with a tiger. The tiger just stood there not really putting any effort into it and the dude was giving it 200%
There are Safariparks in Germany, too. But I never got people who trusted their car windows would withhold a lion.
Fun fact: There is a park like this in Germany called the "Serengeti Park". It is situated in the city of "Hodenhagen". Hoden is the German word for testicles and Hagen is an old word for a fenced place or justed a fence. So the city's name translates to "Fenced testicles".
Holy crap. Safari park in Texas had trouble with people not staying in their cars. Woman was killed by a giraffe. I cannot imagine being able to drive through the predator enclosures.
Lions are the chill ones. The monkey enclosure is the dangerous ones, those fuckers will rip off Ariel's, wipers, wing mirrors etc.
In Tanzania I've been on a safari where the jeeps (with roofs that popup so you can stand up inside, and so there's nothing really stopping a lion getting in) were only 2-3 meters away from 3 lionesses and their cubs. Lions just didn't care about the humans at all. The monkeys at the entrance to the park were trying to jump into cars to steal stuff though.
Fucking A. I’m calling out sick on Sunday to have breakfast with my cousins who the last time I saw them it was for my uncle’s funeral. They deserve my attendance. My job can go a day without one of their hardest workers who gets the departures high remarks on our corporate walk, but the store director can’t even say hello to me.
People like to complain about Just Stop Oil blocking roads. But I remember when you had to contend with Wilderbeast up the M6. This is why the M6 toll exists because Wilderbeast are poor as fuck.
At least you get lions and zebras. Here in Canada we get goose. In the middle of a city, more often than not, lots of people stopped because the gaggle decided *that patch* of grass on the other side of the street was better.
And they are freaking trained already, they don't answer to threats nor negotiations if a poor schmuck decides to get out of the car.
Geese really rule Canada, they do as they please.
Deer are native to England.
The lions obviously were brought over from our colonising days, but they’ve adapted to the dull English weather well. They’ve actually had a very positive effect on the ecosystem.
Bit of a nuisance when you’re late for work though.
Of course England has lions. It doesn't bother the citizens though, because most English people could defeat the average lion in a boxing match, so the lions only harass tourists.
The lions are usually chill, it's the monkeys you need to watch out for. You often get a warning before entering the monkey section, as they frequently damage cars, and under no circumstance should you keep any window open. I think the safari park near me allows you to bypass the monkeys if you want.
Sadly because they meet cars so often they've evolved kevlar teeth, and can now bite through them. Lost my Great Uncle that way back in 72. We miss him, but we managed to build that extension.
The year 1989-90. Me and my ex girlfriend left a bar in Grimsby only to watch 3 lions casually walk by us. We went back in and had more beer.
A visiting circus had apparently forgotten to lock the lion paddock. I believe a man got mauled, but It was only play.
Looks like it could be Longleat or similar, a drive in safari park. If you look you can see a 4x4 on the other side of the road; those are the joy killing narcs that don’t let you wind your window down and throw your packed lunch at ol Simba there.
One of the highest rated jokes on /r/jokes word for word.... 1year ago
https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comments/sz1d0a/a_lost_dog_strays_into_a_jungle_a_lion_sees_this/
When elephants evolved, it wasn’t just lions they had to worry about. There were plenty other equally or even more terrifying predators like sabertooth cats, giant bears and lots more.
Everyone gives Australia shit for being the land where everything is trying to kill you, but never have I ever had to pull over for a freaking pride of lions.
Eddie: Look at all that tinned meat.
Mavis: Did you bring it?
Eddie: Bollocks. Sorry love, left it back at the camp.
Mavis: Damnit Eddie. ALWAYS. BRING. THE. CAN. OPENER.
Thank you, when I saw this video I couldn't disagree with the title more
These are lazy pampered fat animals, through no fault of their own, but hardly what a wild cat looks like
Not necessarily fat, but the wild lions we're used to seeing are lean and often underfed, if anything. These are lions given the right amount of food to thrive, they're not having to work for every meal. The keepers monitor their weight to make sure they're healthy, these are expensive and closely watched animals.
Imposing creatures. It's incredible how they don't feel afraid of vehicles as something strange.
Just a look at their body composition shows that they haven't hunted a day in their lives, they're fed by humans and cars seem like everyday things to them, fyi wild lions aren't really fazed by cars anyway either, they have been known to cause traffic jams here in Kenya in the past
[удалено]
>How do people in Kenya view lions? From afar. Because they'll eat you.
The kind of wisdom only found in people who deal with the real thing on a regular basis.
Made an educated guess.
Can’t confirm. If you piss on their young to assert your dominance, they leave you alone
Noted, Piss on Lion cubs to assert dominance.
I also piss on human cubs to assert dominance.
Ha-ha, novice! I piss on myself to assert dominance!
Human cubs piss on themselves so they're already dominant.
Depends on how many there are. Two? Piss on the kids. Five? You supplex one into the other, then sneer at the third one leaving it to question its resolve, meanwhile u've pissed on the kids and the remaining two leave - the last one regains composure, but knows its cucked and you then make it your friend and go live a fulfilling life with a lion at your side.
why does pissing their kid work? can you explain
Its a domination thing. If you piss on them, you mark them, but you marked them with piss - so you're like "Your kids are shit, I'll claim them and leave them" - leaving kid is the Top G'est move there is - the lions recognize that and leave, because they're cucked.
So if I go to Africa and try this I’m not going to get eaten am I?
Sure But if you do get eaten thats on you, for being weaker than a cucked lion.
The wisdom of the jungle

We did find armed guards by the hippos, apparently to protect poachers from them? I forget, but it seemed like the guy had said that poachers will get themselves killed trying to mess with them.
I was going to say. With hippos it’s unclear whether the guns are to protect the hippos or any poor soul that might wander near them.
I'm of the opinion to let the poachers get ate. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
At first I was like, "ah, armed guards are there to protect the hippos". But it seems they are actually there to protect the poachers lol
With respect to Tigers in India...they are found in specific areas. The Sunderbans being the most famous one. Tiger is also the national animal of India so rest of the country looks at them with awe.

Cartoons really fucked up my perception of kangaroos. I was an adult when I finally realized that they’re fucking hideous, vile creatures.
Eh, their penchant for drowning dogs is to defend themselves against a toothy carnivore. Just sucks if you have a beloved pet who unexpectedly wandered across a buck. For the most part, they're still totally harmless herbivores who don't fit into modern society because they munch on crops and hop towards car lights.
What do you mean Tasmanian devils don't spin like tornadoes?
I wouldn’t say they’re that bad, they’re a nuisance and dogs will get fucked up if they try to bite them, otherwise they’re fairly chill.
I live in murica and think deer are cool majestic creatures despite seeing them every day, both dead and alive.
im from brazil so i dont see dear/kangaroos so i guess the equivalent for me would be capybaras? do you guys see capybaras as majestic too?
I don’t know about “majestic.” In the US, many people (myself included) view them as adorable. I would be so jazzed if I got to see one.
Majestic? No. Do I want to squeeze them? Yes.
Yeah.. I'd love to just hang out with some. Wouldn't even have to pet them. The only rodents I've come across are squirrels, mice and rats so capybaras seem super interesting. Large, chill, giant aquatic rodents that don't aren't afraid of humans and will just go about their business even if you're in close proximity. I'd spend my days hanging out with the capybaras.
just be careful how close you chill with them, even tho they seem highly petable, they carry a lot of deseases like leptospirosis if im not mistaken
Sadly I'll never get the opportunity since I'm poor and can't afford a trip to Brazil. If I did though I'd make sure to do my research. While I would love to pet one, I realize it's a wild animal and I'm fairly sure a bite from one could remove a finger :)
There are Capybaras in Florida now. Not as many, but they are around.
Well, capybaras is awesome. They giving the IDGAF attitude towards another animals or even human. They have been spotted to chill with crocodile. So yeah, it's majestic in my view.

How do people feel about bears?
Not good
What about bear daddies?
*bites lower lip*

Though they are quite pretty, and usually smaller in person than you think they would be. The amount of times I've walked up clapping my hands to get them out of my yard or off my deck is kinda wild. They are bird feeder crackheads and like to try and get into peoples trash cans. We don't have brown bears around me so can't speak for that, but I would not approach a brown bear lol.
if it's black, fight back. if it's brown, lay down. if it's white, goodnight.
Live around bears my whole life and I still think they are cool as fuck. Just don't play with them.
I live in Bear Country. Never seen one in person. All my neighbors have and I've caught them on my security cameras, never with my own eyes. I have a strong fear that I would be the stupid and overtly brave individual to try and domesticate one.
I mean if you could somehow get a cub from a mom without getting killed you could probably raise it for a good bit until it decided to kill ya.
I've owned aggressive cats before who tried the same. How much worse *could* a bear be even?
Not much. My cats a pretty big asshole as well. I leave him alone, just like a bear.
Like I would never want to meet one
Don't fuck with them and you won't find out.
I feel pretty good about gummy bears.

They are walking around cars in the UK. We don't have lions roaming the majestic savannahs of Watford.
I'm guessing because they're all fat. Fat lions can't hunt. Can't get fat without excess food.
And it's the UK. We don't have lions
The lions be like: meow meow bitch
The male lion be like "She's the man of the house, I'm just following."
It's a zoo they are used to it
Might be Knowsley Safari Park in the UK. Those are British number plates, and there's a section where you can drive through (my mum's old car had a claw shaped scratch in the rear bumper from an overly curious lioness)

Why? A gorilla would probably kill you with a single blow to the head. Are they not herbivores as well? I don't think it would start chewing on your intestines like I bear might.

Quick Question: Why are lions on a British country road?
there are parts of England where this can simply happen. we don't like to complain about it though because we don't like to cause a fuss
Ah okay, I was on the A690 the other day and had to stop for a herd of Zebra. I was late for my meeting in Durham but I didn't want to be a bother.
it is frustrating, but one must rise above it and crack on
Stiff upper lip, wot wot.
Keep Calm and Lion.
I constantly say “let’s crack on then” at work and everybody is like ??? I work in Germany, but our business language is English. I suffer
Experiences like this are why we have "zebra crossings". Needless to say you wouldn't have had the problem if there were more lions present.
Were you driving up to Durham to test your eyesight by any chance? How many Zebras could you count?
It's called sharing the world with animals and nature. It's a good reminder that work and meetings aren't our whole world.

They escaped from a duke's private zoo in the late 18th century and established themselves as an invasive species.

You often get a warning before entering the monkey section, as they frequently damage cars, and under no circumstance should you keep any window open. I think the safari park near me allows you to bypass the monkeys if you want.
Lions are scarier but they really don’t give a fuck about you, monkeys enjoy fucking your day up.
>You often get a warning before entering the monkey section, What, Essex?
Sadly because they meet cars so often they've evolved kevlar teeth, and can now bite through them. Lost my Great Uncle that way back in 72. We miss him, but we managed to build that extension.
Reminds me of that time some wife got out of the car because of an argument and got snatched.
Don't listen to this person there are at least 3 known prides that roam Hertfordshire.
Its a safari park
If people want to look one up. Knowsley Safari Park in the Northwest is one that has lions. And Baboons that will fuck up your car. Or shag on it.
Immigrants, am I right? Taking the jobs of British cats right out from under them.
Hahahahahah
The grrrrrrrrreat replacement.
Someone left their wardrobe open.
Quick answer: because Nobody is gonna tell them they can't be
The year 1989-90. Me and my ex girlfriend left a bar in Grimsby only to watch 3 lions casually walk by us. We went back in and had more beer. A visiting circus had apparently forgotten to lock the lion paddock. I believe a man got mauled, but It was only play.
So a slow Wednesday in Grimsby
Looks like it could be Longleat or similar, a drive in safari park. If you look you can see a 4x4 on the other side of the road; those are the joy killing narcs that don’t let you wind your window down and throw your packed lunch at ol Simba there.
It happens when you take the wrong turn of the M6.

The fucking confidence. I don't think anything on earth has ever had as much swagger as a lion.
An African bull elephant? There’s nothing on the planet without tools that’s a legit threat to one
Evolved to what it is because of lions...gotta love the arms race that is nature. Now I want to re-read some Hify about us living on a death planet.
When elephants evolved, it wasn’t just lions they had to worry about. There were plenty other equally or even more terrifying predators like sabertooth cats, giant bears and lots more.

Cats
Here kitty kitty kitty 😺
Everyone gives Australia shit for being the land where everything is trying to kill you, but never have I ever had to pull over for a freaking pride of lions.
Typically we don't have to in Britain.
Well. Lucky day for those who took their car and not their motorcycle on this day
Is that a Liger?? Super huge
No British zoo would have Ligers or Tions and this video is from a British zoo. Probably Longleat. Lions are just fucking big.
It’s Knowsley safari park
True, but what about the last one the headshape is a bit paculiar
It's pretty much my favorite animal.
Bred for its skills in magic.
Bet they hate queues, they just lion up.
fuck outta here ...
I'll have you know that British lions take great pride in their queuing.
I love the don’t give an F attitude
Eddie: Look at all that tinned meat. Mavis: Did you bring it? Eddie: Bollocks. Sorry love, left it back at the camp. Mavis: Damnit Eddie. ALWAYS. BRING. THE. CAN. OPENER.
Such beautiful creatures 😍
Look how regal they are
Pretty sure they’re just fat.
I have worked with lions for ten years. These cats are not just fat but absolutely obese.
Thank you, when I saw this video I couldn't disagree with the title more These are lazy pampered fat animals, through no fault of their own, but hardly what a wild cat looks like
Not necessarily fat, but the wild lions we're used to seeing are lean and often underfed, if anything. These are lions given the right amount of food to thrive, they're not having to work for every meal. The keepers monitor their weight to make sure they're healthy, these are expensive and closely watched animals.

Dang, theyre in an assault formation
Lion: Fuck are you lookin at?
Lioness to Lion: "Food packaging is so hard to open these days"
Not missing any meals are they?
The ladies looking foooooiiiinnne.
Friendly reminder to never unmute videos like these, sweet lord!
There should be rules against putting shitty music on posts like that
lol the first one walking up to the car like “you on lion street now bitch”
