Most of us have visited a zoo or two as children. Roaming around a vast land where animals are kept in captivity, we quickly understand that maintaining our distance from these animals is as important for them as it is for us. A recent video going around the internet talks about what happens when humans forget to maintain this very space between the predators and themselves.

Video Of A Man Getting Bitten After Petting A Lion Goes Viral
The video was posted by an account named “Vicious Videos” on Twitter, and it has garnered over 50K views on the platform. In the short video, two men are seen approaching lions kept inside a cage. Many online have assumed that the video has been recorded in a zoo, although such places mostly restrict visitors from getting close to the animals.
The first man in the clip slowly approaches a lion as he softly pets the animal on its back. While the other man makes an abrupt contact with the animal and pats away on his head, almost inviting an unfortunate accident to occur. To no one’s surprise, the lion does not stand for the intrusive touch and takes the man’s hand in his mouth in a swift motion, leaving him a screaming mess.

After watching the video, many were on the lion’s side and were making fun of the second gentleman in the clip. Users criticise the man’s actions. A user joked, “‘Left hands are overrated. Might as well feed the lion this tasty five-finger snack!’ ~Him. Probably.”
While another noted, “Humans should visit zoo with maintaining distance with dangerous wild animals, don’t be tease with animals for enjoyment purpose.”
Some people clearly got angry with the fellow who put a hand on the lion without a second of thought. A commenter wrote, “That is not a housecat. Moron.” At the same time, there were those who thought the man got his due after the lion bit him, as his actions were obviously out of line. A user mocked the injured man, saying, “I liked this very much, these f**ker should have been eaten.”
The general sentiment after watching the viral video was leaning in favour of the lion, who casually warned the human against crossing his caged space by simply biting the man. There was a general lack of sympathy for the bitten man.
