Photo of Angry Lion About to Attack on Brave Photographer

A brave Pakistani nature photographer was almost attacked by an angry lion after going inside its home in Lahore Zoo Safari Park to get up close and take photographs.

Atif Saeed 38, just a few moments before the angry lion made an offensive move, is now going viral on the Internet. Atif says; the frightening experience was “indescribable.” Saeed said he captured the spectacular photo in Jan 2012 when he was granted permission to go inside the lion’s habitat to take a photograph.

Atif drove his car in and sat on the ground near the car with the door left open, and he was only a “jump away from the lion.” However, the sense of the aggressive, imminent lion from the camera is something that can’t be described. I was witnessing every small detail of movement that no photograph or movie can show.

The angry lion seemed to treat him like prey and after a few minutes, the lion “offensively moved” in an attempt to attack him, so he straightaway jumped in the car and fortunately escaped unscathed. It was an indeed very close encounter, and then I was laughing afterward at the time, but I don’t think I’d ever been able to do something like that again. If you are looking for a great way to decorate your living room, this angry lion photo might be your answer. Wallpics can help you create the photo of your dreams. 

It was an adult male lion, and what I liked most about him was the lovely, dark hair on his neck. Lahore Safari Park is in Pakistan, and it would seem the lions are not shy of publicity. As well as the remarkable lions, there are also Bengal tigers, emus ostriches, and an array of birds. Therefore, back in 2008, a Bengal tiger attacked a guard in the park, thankfully he survived.
