If you thought it was only humans who are going crazy over football, then you can’t be more wrong!
If you thought it was only humans who are going crazy over football, then you can’t be more wrong! When the world is reeling under the football fever, why should the king of the forest be left behind?
Meet Triton, an 11 year old male lion, from the zoo in Johannesburg, South Africa who has the looks and the skills to give Ronaldo a run for his money!
The majestic lion shares his enclosure with seven female lions, but none of the babes can get his attention when this athletic big cat gets his eyes on a soccer ball.
He also refuses to share with them, instead preferring to show off all his sick moves solo.
Sadly, other lions don't have it so easy. After a courageous battle, Ariel the paralyzed lion died in Brazil in July. Last month, it was revealed that eighteen lions have been neglected at the Tripoli Zoo in Libya after the Gaddafi family fled.
Many big cats around the world are endangered or threatened by poaching and habitat destruction.
Recently, the world were forced to face the horrific reality behind trophy hunting, when southern African country's best-known lion 'Cecil the lion' was murdered by an American dentist. Watch the footage of the lion playing ball below.
Now if they could only get two more lions to plays soccer, it would be the English national team.
That’s soccer, not football.
Can we sign him up for the US Men’s Soccer Team, he can’t possibly do any worse.
“That’s soccer.”
Well, the article admits he’s a homo cat.
Obviously not Matt Stafford.......
Well that lion has been to the Super Bowl as many times as every other lion.
This just in, the Lion beat the US Men’s Soccer team 1-0.
EXACTLY!
but Trump/Cruz should hit hitlery on the 18 lions that suffered after the Libya overthrow.
Didn’t she care enough to follow up?
If you lose to Costa Rica, you’re thinking about toaster waffles.
Yum!
Yeah that lion is purty studly. Nice mane. Good foot work.
This just in- Dentist shoots soccer playing lion
Big cat ping
when southern African country’s best-known lion ‘Cecil the lion’ was murdered by an American dentist.”
Our minister commented this weekend about the entire main stream media being so upset about a lion losing his life that they railed about it for days on end. But not a word about the millions of babies who lose their life every year through abortion or all the Christians who are being slaughtered in the Middle East.
Does anyone know if laser pointers work on lions?
My GSD plays like that. Rocks, sticks, balls, anything he can get his paws on.
Soccer???
I wanted to see him throw a pass.
Are you an anti-dentite?
“That’s soccer, not football”.
Seriously... soccer. Where is that dentist guy when you need him? (huge SARC... and ducking) :)
