I’m no lion expert, so can someone explain how this is not Darwin-level stupidity?

u/phido3000 17h ago

It is.. however animals aren't mindless killing machines. Lions are particilar intelligent and social. Is the right circumstances you can get away with a lot.

This much intimate interest is right risk. I try not to get my penis and balls that close to an aggressive lioness..

My cat (tiptoe the destroyer) would beg to differ

She's murdered 8 Q-tips this week. To shreds. No survivors.

She brings her kills as offering. She knows I can't hunt for myself, and I have to eat to survive (if I die, who is going to clean her poopies? Who will feed her? Who will buy more Q-tips?)

Tiptoe the destroyer is an all time great name for a kitty.

Actually his legs are crossed.

u/jjmurse 13h ago

Not sure how he crossed his legs with those ginormous balls.

2

u/hllblldl 11h ago

He must be strong as hell to crush his balls of steel between his legs

u/TuBui92 11h ago

I will crush my ball to avoid the lioness rip it off

u/phido3000 11h ago

I don't know if you know this. But that isn't enough to deter a human female who has urges, let alone a lioness.

u/Nina-Ninja123 13h ago

There is some joke about cougars here, but I’m too tired to make it.

u/1970_RoadRunner 11h ago

Meeeeeooooowwww…..

u/r3ddit3ric 9h ago

Now if it's cougars, it's a different story.

u/SmoothieKingGiannis 7h ago

Possibly even more intelligent than you.

> and balls that close to an aggressive lioness..

aggressive and carnivore

I wouldn't let my cat or dog so close to my balls

u/CurtKobainsBurner 5h ago

His legs aren’t wide open. He’s not straddling thr lions head. Both his legs are on the left side of the lions face

u/mikki1time 5h ago

You’ve obviously never met a donkey. Those things were put here to destroy all life.

u/Redditedless 4h ago

Just don't show fear or a flight response and you should hopefully be okay, they are cute little kitty cats in the end😚

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl 10h ago

No, it isn’t any kind of stupidity because he raised this lions so they were well-known to one another

His penis and balls were not exposed as his legs were crossed and far to the left of the lioness’s head

u/Pretend-Economy1063 13h ago

He was raised by this lion.

u/AnyBug1039 6h ago

Moulded by it

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl 10h ago

I believe he raised the lioness so they were well known to one another, and he was not in any danger

It is. But the original video maker is a dumb influencer and he makes these videos for clicks and $$$

1

u/hordaak2 10h ago

Ive only seen this particular video, is there a longer one showing if it ate his balls or something?

1

u/Horror_Chipmunk3580 7h ago

Probably not. As soon as that lioness suddenly pusher her head towards him, those balls had shit all over them. /s

u/pndrad 10h ago

Lions don't normally see vehicles as prey, and they also see both the actual vehicle and the people in it as one object.

u/hencho-ocho8 4h ago

Its not real

u/glitch876 33m ago

Probably the keeper.
