Angry Lion Charge Tourists in Kruger National Park | Kruger Park Sightings

Angry male Lion charges at tourists hanging out of their cars in my latest Kruger national park wildlife sighting. Most Epic Lion Sound Ever!
#krugersightings #krugernationalpark #lioncharge

[@davebaz8142]

The sound that lion makes is similar to the noise my first ever car used to make - a 15 year old VW Golf diesel. I bought it off my mate for a 100 quid and it died after about 3 weeks 😂

[@WildestKrugerSightings]

From Amg's to diesel golf's this lion has it nailed down.

Just that growl is enough to send chills down your spine. Never underestimate the strength, and fearlessness of a lion.

[@hispacacciato3514]

I think that that's exactly what you are doing by your comment. I would rather say never underestimate the physical capabilities of any animal to fuck you up completly. A big home cat could truly hurt you and even eventually kill you if it was TRULY angry at you and you didn't have any gun, tool nor the possibility of getting medical aid after the encounter. Lions? Pff i think it's just out of our scope of comprehension. People tend to think they are just stronger than us cause of their weight and that they happen to have tools to kill. It's not even remotely to be like that. The level of strength animals have pound for pound has nothing to do with ours. Leave alone the resistance of their skin, the capability they have of not bleeding out as we apes do, the speed, the aggression, the exolosivity, the unpredictability of their moves, the hunger for survival and them being used to super hard lifes. So, no, underestimate it's not a word that should be placed in the same sentence as lions.

It was obvious the lion was very stressed. The safari vehicle should have moved on.

[@horselover7744]

Not a safari/guide vehicle They know how to respect and keep their distances when animals show clear signs of annoyance/back off type of behaviour (i've been watching safaris for a few years now so i would know ) Those are clearly tourists in their cars not respecting any boundary or knowing how to read any animal body language

[@Fadedecho1]
