00:00 [Sounds of a wild animal]
00:07 For thousands of years man has been fighting for survival.
00:13 The main competitors for him have always been predators, a special place among which is
00:18 occupied by a lion, rightfully considered the king of animals.
00:25 These dangerous claws and fangs often threaten humans, forcing them to seek protection and
00:30 shelter.
00:33 But what if we tell you that a lion can be for us not only a dangerous competitor, but
00:38 also a real friend?
00:40 What if we show real examples of such friendship?
00:45 In this video you will learn about how to make friends with a lion, how to take the
00:50 place of the leader in the pride, how to protect yourself from a lion attack and what are the
00:56 chances of the most powerful people on the planet in the fight against a dangerous predator.
01:03 Intrigued?
01:04 Then like, subscribe and let's get started!
01:10 Our protagonist is the ultimate hunting and dominating machine.
01:14 The weight of the king of beasts can reach 250 kg and its raw is heard within a radius
01:21 of 8 km.
01:23 He is made to rule and to be at the top.
01:26 The strength of this predator is so great that it has no natural enemies left in nature.
01:33 The king of beasts, unlike other felines, prefers to live in a pack which bears the
01:38 proud name of pride.
01:40 This is a well-organized group that not only successfully hunts, but also successfully
01:46 defends its territory, squeezing out competitors.
01:52 It would seem that such a strong and independent animal does not need friendship with other
01:57 species because it is powerful and independent.
02:01 But even his strength does not allow him to resist what is happening in the world.
02:06 The habitats of lions are shrinking, as are the numbers.
02:10 Even with other prides, hunting for large animals.
02:14 All this makes the life of lions dangerous and full of unpredictable events.
02:20 But what can happen when a lion and a man get in each other's way?
02:24 Can they become friends or will they become sworn enemies?
02:29 History knows many cases of how a lion and a man become true friends.
02:36 One of them is Oleg Zubko.
02:38 His life's work is a unique Crimean park called Taigan.
02:43 This man unconditionally proved that the friendship between a man and a lion is absolutely real.
02:50 Oleg Zubko constantly comes into contact with his pets.
02:54 However, he does it not like the trainers in the circus, but as a real friend and leader
03:00 of cat predators.
03:02 The lions in turn accept him and consider him 100% for their own.
03:08 Of course, in the example of this man, we see only the final result of the efforts made
03:13 in order to gain the trust of a dangerous predator.
03:17 The lions that live in the park know their owner from birth.
03:21 He doesn't just talk to them on a case-by-case basis.
03:24 He lives in their world and understands the behavior, moods and intentions of lions to
03:30 the smallest detail.
03:32 The most important thing is that Oleg Zubko builds relationships with lions positioning
03:37 himself as a leader.
03:40 Accustomed from an early age to punishment with a slipper, lions even in adulthood are
03:45 more afraid of this super-weapon than a conflict with another lion.
03:50 As you can see, in order to make friends with the king of beasts, you need to create relationships
03:55 from the first days of his life and live it every day.
03:59 Moreover, friendships that have already taken place require monitoring and constant work.
04:05 But the friendships that have arisen do not at all cancel the fact that the lion is a
04:16 deadly predator.
04:21 The king of beasts is born to dominate, win and kill, and man cannot change his nature.
04:32 Such high-class specialists as Zubko perfectly see what mood the lion is in.
04:38 He never allows himself too much, but many, looking at him, frivolously assume that only
04:43 the desire of a person is enough for friendship.
04:48 As a result, people begin to do things that can lead to sad consequences.
04:54 A vivid example of such a mistake was the moment when a visitor to the Taigan Park,
04:59 taking a picture next to a lion, suddenly decided to pet him in imitation of Zubko.
05:06 But if he knew when he could afford it, then the visitor had no idea about it.
05:11 The result of such a mistake was a bitten hand, and this is far from the worst thing
05:16 that could happen to her.
05:20 Yes, friendship between a lion and a man can be deadly for a person.
05:26 Especially if control is lost and the person forgets that there is a wild and dangerous
05:31 animal next to him.
05:37 History remembers the case of the Berbero family, who sheltered a lion that at a certain
05:42 moment gave free reign to its aggression, and it turned into a real tragedy.
05:50 Lions attack people in the wild as well.
05:52 Usually wild cats do not prey on humans, but exceptions still happen.
05:58 For example, in Tanzania, according to statistics, an average of 70 people die from lion attacks
06:04 per year.
06:08 As you can see, lion attacks are quite real if you are where these cats live.
06:14 What to do if one of them attacked you?
06:18 The first step is to learn not to create such situations.
06:23 Here are some of the ground rules.
06:26 Don't travel alone.
06:29 Do not take children or pets with you for a walk.
06:34 Do not walk at night.
06:35 All this can almost 100% eliminate the likelihood of a predator attack.
06:43 If you still met a lion, then in the first place you should not run and turn your back
06:48 on him.
06:50 It is these actions that will turn on his hunting mode, and then only a very lucky chance
06:56 will help you.
06:59 How to stop a lion?
07:01 You should seem to the lion too difficult and maybe even dangerous prey.
07:06 Raise your arms or jacket above your head to appear larger than you are and make as
07:12 much noise as possible, such as shouting or clapping your hands.
07:19 Then the lion will most likely get scared and retreat.
07:27 Of course, these measures may not work and the lion will still occur.
07:32 In this case, the question arises - what are the chances of a person in the fight against
07:37 a lion?
07:40 Lions keep the memory of the exploits of ancient heroes who were able to cope with
07:44 a lion without weapons.
07:47 Samson tore the lion apart and Hercules was able to strangle the predator with his bare
07:52 hands.
07:53 Sounds impressive, but how will it look in real life?
08:00 In our time, there are also our Samson and Herculeses.
08:04 Known by the nickname "The Mountain", the hero from the series "Game of Thrones",
08:09 played by Hefter Bjornsson, has incredible strength and size for a man.
08:14 Let's use the example of Hefter to imagine how the battle between a man and a lion would
08:19 take place.
08:25 The mountain is 2 meters 2 centimeters tall and weighs 156 kilograms.
08:31 Impressive isn't it?
08:32 But let's compare it to a lion.
08:35 The king of beasts can reach a length of 2 meters 50 centimeters and its weight can reach
08:40 up to 250 kilograms.
08:44 As you can see, if the lion stands on its hind legs, then Bjornsson will be lower, also
08:49 be significantly lighter in weight.
08:56 Of course, the strength of the mountain is great, but he can hardly break the spine of
09:01 such a strong animal as a hyena with one blow.
09:05 Also do not forget that the lion's paw is equipped with claws 7 centimeters long.
09:11 It's scary even to imagine what can happen to a person who receives a powerful blow with
09:17 such a dangerous weapon.
09:21 And finally fangs.
09:23 Their length reaches 8 centimeters and the predator is ready to plunge them into someone's
09:28 body without hesitation.
09:31 And he will do it with a huge pressure of 45 atmospheres.
09:35 By comparison, a human bite is only 11.
09:41 Now imagine how a man and a lion collide in a fight.
09:45 The predator jumps from a distance of 15 meters and crashes into a person, then inflicts a
09:51 lot of blows with powerful paws and his opponent tries to adequately respond.
09:58 What will be the outcome of this fight?
10:00 The lion is larger, weighs more, has sharp long claws, huge fangs, as well as wild animal
10:06 power, speed and reaction.
10:09 A person in response can oppose?
10:11 Well, in fact, nothing.
10:14 In a direct fight, the king of beasts will be the winner.
10:18 This fact must be acknowledged and fully accepted.
10:23 The only true relevant tool in the struggle of men against the lion was and remains the
10:28 intellect.
10:29 This is what sets apart and makes us the most powerful being on the planet.
10:34 However, at the same time, as the strongest, we are also responsible for this world.
10:40 We must protect it and protect those who live in it.
10:43 Therefore, it is better to strive not for struggle and victories, but for friendship,
10:48 understanding and mutual respect.
10:52 Each person must understand that the attack of an animal is primarily related to the issue
10:58 of survival and not aggression against us.
11:02 And if we learn to live in harmony with the surrounding nature, then most likely no one
11:07 will want to attack us.
11:09 And that's all for now, see you next time.
11:15 Bye.
