This photo with a lion was taken a couple of months ago during my visit to Mauritius.
I have often pointed out that animals are more intelligent than six-year-old children and have a super sense of feeling. They will interact well with you if they know that you like them. This is the case with me and this lion with whom I interact every year. It is a unique experience and I recommend everybody to interact with animals including birds.
We should love them and not shoot them!
