The wildlife is getting back at us for

screwing up the environment.

 

Pretty scary time.At first he started to run,big no,no.

But what would you do in the same situation?

 

Did he finally throw a rock at the cat?

 

The guy was lucky.

There may be more to this story...  it’s reported that the “victim” had approached the cat’s kittens for photos.  If that’s true, his bad judgement precipitated the entire episode.

 

Don't mess with mom...

Makes sense now why he kept telling the lion to go back to her babies.

Kittens? Now that may explain why he was busier filming his possible demise rather than immediately taking defensive measures.

Steve there is usually more to a story.

I did hear him tell the cat to go back to her kittens.

 

If that's the case where he got between mom and the

kittens,he was very lucky to escape unharmed.

From a friend in Montana -

 

"GMA (Good Morning America) interviewed the guy this morning and he admitted to attempting to photograph the kittens which drove "mom" to attack/protect her brood. He said he threw a rock to scare away the cat."
