A woman found a badly injured lion in the forest. She took it with her and nursed it back to health. When it was better, she made arrangements with a zoo to take the lion and give it a new and happy home. This video was taken when she returned to the zoo some time later to see how her lion was doing. Watch the lion's amazing reaction when he sees her!

Looks like a video of a lion grabbing his prey but not being able to eat her because of the bars in the cage.

Okay, so what was an African lion doing in a forest in South America?

Maybe some drug lord imported it, abused it and abandoned it.
The video is great! Sad to see the lion caged - it should be sent back to Africa and let loose.

Probably some crooked drug kingpin downsizing his private zoo.

Probably why I saw a tiger in the Everglades and asked the Guide “WTF?” He said “Like everything else down here, they ain’t native. Guess I gotta call this in.” I’m thinking “Holy crap”.

There’s a little something more going on in the brains of animals than we give them credit for.
People say that dogs are very loyal which is true and say that cats couldn’t care less. I had a cat that was as loyal a friend as any dog could ever be.

The video is great! Sad to see the lion caged - it should be sent back to Africa and let looseWhere it would instantly be killed by other lions or die from starvation because it doesn't know how to properly hunt for food.

Come to think of it, what are all those darned Burmese pythons doing in FL, or those darned gators in NYC? When you see an aberrancy, there’s usually some idiot human behind it.
