I didn't see any lurching. It just got up quickly and left. Stupid reporters.

I bet they were thinking they would give their kids a once in a lifetime experience. Admittedly, it's some pretty freakin' poor judgement, but I can see where they're coming from. Everyone does stupid shit sometimes... they probably just had a 'tard moment.

I've seen more intimidating lurches from house cats.

It's just a lion, not like it's a fucking raptor or something dangerous. That's what the gun is for.

They are very friendly. So, why not pat the lions on the head? Varine
Well, I'm sure it's more enjoyable than a gun.

I would run at the lion and scream and assert my dominance and then run.

Make sure you have a gun in case you need to show the rest of the pride.
