dude got away without a drop of blood lost. they were playing.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
If I remember correctly, the trigger was the eye contact which was seen as a challenge.
Now that you say it, I can see it. at 0:12, Leo locks eyes with Rookie. Rookie’s challenging, so at 0:15 Leo shifts his paws over. That was a clear message that Rookie’s being rude and should look away, but he doesn’t, so Leo corrects him – not even too harshly. The funniest part is Leo’s old lady going: “leave him alone, he’s just a dumbass and he won’t understand.”
FFS, yes it was! This dumbass staring and staring. The other guy saw the male start to get agitated and tried to distract him. Camera pans over, numb nuts is still staring at him.
Damn, what kind of zoo has so much noise and blinking lights all over the place? No wonder the lions go mad.
Judging from the lights, I think this zoo is in a casino.
How much do you have to win at roulette to be allowed in the lion cage?
Losers only.
