"The day I survived being mauled by lions." (see pictures)

Have you ever been to the Zoo and managed to spot one idiotic person who tries to get people's attention by breaking the rules that forbid touching the animals, especially the wild animals.

Well I have, I went to the Johannesburg Zoo and there was this Indian man who kept on touching the tigers. There was a moment where the tiger turned its back and almost bit his hand off as it turned around in anger. His response was just an awkward laugh and smile, which no one found funny.

This is what happened to a certain boy, however he was unlucky as the lion got its paws around his leg. We will call this boy Richard for identity purposes.

Richard went to the Zoo on a normal day just like every other day. There was nothing to weird going on. The lions that Richard went to see where placed on a higher ground so that no one could get near them.

The Zoo didn't use glass to keep the distance between the visitors and the lion, but rather used a fence. As Richard wanted to be admired by people, he thought that it would be wise of him to climb to the top and pose in front of the lions.

His leg was quickly caught by the lion and the lion wouldn't let go as the Zoo workers tried to poke it with a stick, but to no avail. In the video Richard can be heard screaming and crying as the lion's claws sink deep into his skin.

As a result of all this commotion, Richard ended the day with a missing arm and a badly damaged leg. Richard has recovered from his injuries and is getting used to living life with one harm.
