Is it possible to befriend a lion?
The lion is a well-muscled cat with a long body, large head, and short legs, Britannica states.
According to Wild Animals Central, while it is true that lions are naturally curious creatures, they are not inherently aggressive. In fact, many lion owners report that their pets are gentle and affectionate. Proper care and training make having a friendly lion as a pet possible.

In another story, Briefly News reported that While we don't all have the Big Five in our back gardens, being able to have open land, trees and incredible wildlife at our fingertips is something we, as Africans, often undervalue.
TikTok user @heineckerohdepret shared a video where she showed people a huge male Eland who had made his way into her home. Living in the bush is not new and explains why the tannie was so relaxed.
This video had a lot of people taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of our beloved county.
