People around the lion exhibit at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas were shocked when the male lion attacked one of the trainers in the enclosure.
The video shows one man standing on each side of the male lion. One of the men is looking the lion in the eye for a few moments before the animal attacks, grabbing him by the leg.
The other man attempts to get the lion to stop attacking and a lioness also runs over and grabs at the lion.
“It wasn’t a vicious attack, but more of an alpha male response , The male lion felt like the trainer was trying to challenge him by staring at him, so, he had to impose his will on the human trainer and show dominance. The male lion was basically claiming his territory and showing who the boss is.”
The trainer received stitches in his leg.
