Man-Animal Interaction: Conflict & Coexistance

A lion plays tug-of-war with a safari Jeep’s rope:

Quote:“It was like a big cat playing with a toy,” tour guide Jabulani Salinda, 49, told Kennedy News of the tug-of-roar, which occurred while he was leading a group through Baobab Ridge Game Lodge, South Africa, on Nov. 18.

The animal expert had reportedly been alerted by a colleague that a male lion was in the area. However, when he tried to maneuver his vehicle to get a better look, it became stuck in the dirt and had to be freed with a tow rope.

Unfortunately, their rescue attempt backfired after the big cat in question bit down on their lifeline.

“Before I could pull the rope back in, it caught the eye of the lion,” described the bemused wildlife guide. “He wandered over and grabbed the end of it.”
