Battle Of The Sexes: We've Got A 9 Vs. 1 Lion Fight Video And Things Don't Look Good For The King Of The Jungle

New off-road track at West Midlands Safari Park

New York Post – This is the terrifying moment a gang of lionesses viciously attacked the male of the pride in a bid to kill him off in front of horrified visitors at a British safari park.

Heart-stopping footage captures the powerful beasts pouncing on the male and sinking their teeth into his body at West Midlands Safari Park.

The drama was captured on camera by amateur photographer Mya Beverstock, 19, who had visited the attraction on Wednesday.

I’ll be the first to admit it, I was pretty disappointed after watching this video when I realized this didn’t occur down in the wild jungle of Africa, but rather in the lion enclosure at a British safari park. It takes a little bit of the thrill out of the video as a whole, and for that I’m sorry. I know it’s not my fault, but I’m still sorry.

That being said, look in that male lion’s eyes and then try telling me the brawl we’re watching wasn’t real as fuck. I don’t care if those lions are highly paid Hollywood actors or lions being raised by that Black Jaguar White Tiger guy; those lionesses are pissed and that male lion is getting absolutely annihilated.

The only reason he wasn’t killed is because employees of the safari park were able to separate the lions by honking the horns on their Jeeps and then eventually breaking it up by spraying a fire extinguisher into the skirmish.

Who’s to say what happened to start this one-sided brawl, all I know is the lion formerly-known as the king of West Midlands Safari Park has officially been overthrown, and I have no idea how he can ever show his face amongst his own pride ever again.

In an ideal situation, maybe they remove him from the lion enclosure and let him cool off and reflect somewhere else for a while. Maybe he becomes friends with a meerkat and a warthog with a debilitating case of IBS. Maybe they teach him how to let the traumatic events of his past go with a well rehearsed song, and eventually he regains the courage necessary to return to the pride and enclosure he once called home, claiming his place atop the throne once again. I know it sounds unrealistic, but at the very least I bet it’d make for a pretty epic movie.

Just a little something to think about.
