About What It's Like To Be Attacked By a Lion (And Survive)
Learn about the terrifying reality of humans becoming prey to wild animals, featuring three harrowing accounts from the African savannah. A conservationist recounts his brutal lion attack while attempting to treat an injured lioness, a plan complicated by a forgotten sidearm and an aggressive young male. We then hear a pilot's shocking experience of being attacked by a hyena during a camping trip, highlighting the immense power of their bite. The episode also revisits the infamous Man-Eaters of Tsavo, two lions responsible for over 100 railway worker deaths. Finally, a professional hunter describes his near-fatal encounter with a wounded lioness. From: Human Prey Content licensed by Cineflix International Media Ltd to Little Dot Studios
