Yep, never turn your back on a cat, confirmed.

Ummmm....BABY. GET INTO MY BELLY!

That's why those Indian folks wear a mask on the back of their head when they're out in tiger country. Ah, I learned that on the Discovery Channel back before it was all military and disaster porn (oh, and shark week).

OK, you beat me, but can I do this? *related http://videosift.com/video/Never-turn-your-back-on-a-cat

Now that I've been learned, let's try to fail again *related=http://videosift.com/video/Never-turn-your-back-on-a-cat

Heh, that's my local zoo (Chiba Zoological Park). They just put the lion exhibit in like two months ago. It's so new that when I just checked their web page just now I noticed they haven't updated the park map with the location of the lion exhibit yet, although there is an announcement about the lions on the front page.

When we went on the opening week, the lions didn't seem to give a fuck about anything despite there being lots of kids pressed up against the glass. I figured they were too tired from having been transferred from the zoos that donated them (they were both born and raised in captivity).
