Lion tries to eat little boy

[n2doc]

PORTLAND, Ore. -

Thank goodness for protective glass.

A lion at the Oregon Zoo in Portland clearly wanted to get at a little boy who was sitting outside the exhibit.

The child barely noticed what was happening but something about him sure got the animal's attention.

Internet commenters’ remarked that the baby looked a little bit like a zebra.
His mother wasn't worried about the child's safety.

Zoo workers say the lions often interact with young visitors and the glass keeps them safe.

Gotta see the video (at link)!

1. My god. In the video it looks like the lion is trying to bite the kid's head off.

Not sure if I am amused or disturbed.

5. I saw the parents interviewed on tv a couple of days ago.

That lion apparently isn't getting fed enough!
