Quote:A man who awoke to find a ferocious lion lurking outside his kitchen, has shared incredible footage of himself making his morning brew whilst the fearsome predator snarls at him through an open window. Dylan Panos woke early to find eight lions moving through his campsite - and one particularly feisty male eyeballing him and growling though his kitchen window. Dylan, who runs Bhejane Nature Training - a nature guide training company - was at his unfenced camp in Somkhanda Community Game Reserve, northern KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, when he found himself surrounded by the pride. A female lioness was lying right next to the kitchen and in a bid to pursue her, the male lion refused to budge leaving Dylan with no option but to continue making his much-needed coffee. Unbelievable footage shows the 46-year-old placing his kettle on a gas hob - directly underneath the window which is covered in just chicken wire and no glass - whilst the lion loudly growls at him and runs towards the window as if to attack.
