About Near-Death Animal Escapes From Deadly Predators | Deadly Games

Every day in the wild is life or death for the animals who live there. A split-second can mean the difference between escaping unscathed or being eaten on the spot by a predator. From lions and cheetahs to rock pythons and crocodiles, here we see the moments when animals manage to escape certain death by the skin of their teeth. Some escape by being too fast for their predators, others use smarts and their friends to remain safe - but either way, the predators go hungry for another day, and their prey live to see another sunrise.

Rescuing A Pride Of Lions From Cruel Romanian Zoo | Wild Animal Rescue

These Lions started out life in a zoo, forced to perform for audiences every night. When the male lion eventually snapped and attacked a circus worker, they were sent to a zoo in Baia Mare, Romania. The lions were kept in tiny cages with concrete flooring, trapped together for years until Romania joining the EU meant that the zoo had to close, and the lions faced euthanasia if a new home wasn't found for them. Their lives were saved due to the efforts of Dr Adin Miclaus, and the people at FOUR PAWS International. Content licensed by Cineflix to Little Dot Studios.
