She was left needing 13 stitches in bite wounds - but it is thought the lion may simply have mistaken her for a playmate, because of her mane-like long blonde hair.

If she only needed 13 stitches, it is likely the lion was only playing...

Before I clicked on this I said: “California”

*sigh* I don’t guess them all correctly...

Don't sit on the lions...

Clarence, the Cross-Eyed Lion???

This ditzy bimbo obviously forgot that lions attack - because it’s their nature. They’re not large kitties; well, actually, they are. If your kitty were big enough to eat you for breakfast, it probably would.

Amazing that she lived.....however, have any of you seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYh96USnzY0

It’s a lion hugging a kissing its woman caretaker of several years.....absolutely amazing!

I believe the lion is marking her with scent.

[goodnesswins]

Yes.....it looks that way....just like a kitty might....
