Um...yeah....a big ol *WTF on that.

Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by newtboy.

At first I was going to joke "those cats are a bunch of pussies", but then I thought: Where is this? What's the context and is something wrong with those animals? The dog looks too violent for this to be a trained routine, but it also seems so unrealistic that I wonder if it's conditioning (which would be horrible).

I don't have any more information on the video, but given that it's a zoo context, seems quite similar to this vid where a dog had fostered two lion cubs:

Huh, okay I can see the dynamic now. The initial video felt more like one of those 'fringe'/questionable shows/zoos in some southeast asian country (only because I've seen a lot of sad animal videos come out of there).

It makes me wonder if zoos frequently use dogs as surrogates as a regular alternative? Interesting!

Moving this video to oritteropo's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Yeah, that is playing between friends. No reason for the lions to lay down except to play. Back when we had 2 dogs, the larger one would always lay down under the smaller one to let him have an advantage when the went at each other. Otherwise, it isn't fun for both.
