smidey Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I live next to the lion park in whanagrei, our area is over run with turkeys so my cousin, son & i despatched a dozen of them today & took them to the lion park for food for the big cats. we got to watch the lions eat them, that was very cool but i am genuinly afraid of lions. there was a lion, 2 lionesses & a white tiger in the enclosure & the lion tried to have a go at the keeper through the fence. i would not want to be around if one got out, it was so fast, big & aggressive it was extremely impressive & kinda scary.

Barrie Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 So mauling may be stretching things a bit but you can see it grabbing my leg ok ok ok So it may have only wanted a pat but sounds better the way I first put it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 cant remember their age but there were 2 at the Lion park in Rotorua. I was supprised at the strenght for the size to be honest but must admit it was great to be there with them. Had a dive with the sharks at the Napier Aquarium a few weeks ago as well. Love those things I can tell you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love those things I can tell you i'm sure that would get the heart pumping. the lions were quite funny devouring the birds, they opened their mouths to try to get the feathers off their tounges with their paws. :lol: Ash the keeper said the cheetahs were alot smarter, they pluck the belly of the bird & eat it from that point only rather than the lions big bite of feathers each time.
