The lioness appears to have a strong relationship of trust with a man who works at a facility attached to a wildlife reserve in Tanzania.
A huge lion nestles next to a man, resting on him and grooming him. The man gently strokes her in response.
The male keeper who works here seems to have a deep bond with the female lions in the facility, and a video of them cuddling up to each other and having skinship showing their affection has become a hot topic.
Normally, he should keep his distance from wild animals, but this man is adored by the female lion and has developed a very close relationship with the domestic cat, much like that of its owner.
The lion’s behavior is similar to that of a domestic cat, as he rubs his cheek and surrenders to the cat.
Cats are cats even if they are big, and just as domestic cats do with their fellow cats and their owners, they will gently lick men’s hands and faces, perhaps as part of grooming.
The video posted on Instagram has been viewed more than 1.9 million times and received many comments.
“What a precious creature the lion is.” “This scene, the man and the lion, everything is beautiful.” “I can see that the lioness has complete trust in this man.” “I can feel the lion’s love for the man.” ”
