Lion Charges at Boy at Zoo Slams Into Glass Enclosure

A heart-stopping video from Chiba, Japan shows a little boy turning his back on a lion enclosure only for the cat to charge forward and pounce - only stopped by the glass wall.

The video shows the two-year-old boy staring at a male lion during a visit to the Chiba Zoological Park with his family.

When the toddler turns his back, the big cat springs up and rushes at him, only to slam into the glass wall of the enclosure. The startled boy stumbles back when the massive animal rams into the glass.

Zookeepers said the lion, which weighs 400 pounds, gets excited around small children and just wanted to play.

Sure...
