The cool part is that the lioness doesn't look like it wanted to attack--just curious.

Yes curious. "I wonder what this tastes like".

She is absolutely beautiful!

The little girl is kind of cute, too.

Lion resembles Merle from The Walking Dead.

Poor lion, looks sad @ 0:26 when it realizes the kid didn't want to be friends.

That beautiful hunter was locked onto the kids eyes (i.e. straight through the back of her head) well before she even turned around. Love the instinctual concentration.

"What's with that bandanna? And why is your father having you pose like that?"

It's so hard to not anthropomorphise anumals, but man that lioness looks sad

Animals can be sad. That's not anthromorphic at all. Do you think animals don't have emotions, or their emotions aren't often expressed in similar ways to ours?

No, I'm not saying animals can't be sad. What I'm saying is that the expression... it looks sad, so we think of the lioness as sad. But that expression could have nothing to do with sadness, it could be interested, hungry, angry... we don't really know, it's applying human facial characteristics to an animal to assume that the look means sad.

I agree. Animal expressions can be very similar to ours, but mean completely different things. When we smile we pull back our lips and reveal our teeth. This is seen as a friendly expression by humans, but in almost all other animals it's a threat response, something you do when hurt or threatened yourself. How do you make a chimp smile? Hurt it, make it feel threatened. Puts a new edge on the old PG tips ads in the UK...
