This is one video that you do not get to see every day, animal lovers. A tug of war enrichment game between a lioness and three professional wrestlers. Yup, you read that right. And guess who the winner is.
It's amazing, how easily we forget just how strong and dangerous these adorable fluffy big cats are. We look at pictures of wild animals and sometimes wish that they would interact with us puny humans - looking at insane videos of people who are part of a lion's pride, we feel jealousy, but then seeing a tumblr thread like this reminds us of just how dangerous they are.
Although we don't love that this animal is in captivity in the first place, we are glad that the people working at the San Antonio Zoo are trying to give her such enrichment programs and make her day a little more fun.
When we came across this video on our timeline, the last thing that we expected as we were watching it was for a lioness to be at the other end of that rope. It is absolutely stunning how strong these animals are. And seeing her in action against three professional wrestlers no less is amazing.
We, as cat people, look at big cats and almost find them unassuming. We think most of us out here have dreamt of cuddling one of these creatures. This is as good of a reminder that we are going to get of just how dangerous they are. ...Even though we would still love to pet them.
