KNP LION PRIDE USED TO CARS, BE CAUTIOUS

[Flutterby]

With a lion that close I bet the window doesn't feel like much protection!

[Mel]

My theory is that they would be able to break it. I'd never let a lion paw the car window like that -
and there were occasions when it could have happened. We drove off before they got a chance

What an idiot
Why did he allow the lion to gnaw away at parts of his car?!?!? He should have moved away.
By allowing the lion to do as it pleases, he is "teaching" the habit

And what happens when he's a fully grown 200kg plus male still doing this

[Richprins]

Hopefully they outgrow the phase...seems to be learned behaviour, like the Vurhami tree climbers!

After all it is their home

I don't think that it's the rubber, more likely smells attached from whatever the tyres have been passing through

He was not trying to open door, he was tasting the handle
