How Does a Lion Treat a Baby?

A lion's behavior towards a human can vary greatly depending on their individual history. Generally, a lion will treat humans similar to how they would treat any other animal that isn't of their own species: cautiously. While most lions in captivity are used to being around humans and may even appear quite relaxed in close quarters with them, wild lions tend to view us as potential predators and will keep their distance if possible. Lions may occasionally show curiosity towards people, which should be respected and not taken advantage of as some wild animals still possess a dangerous degree of aggression. As long as all possible safety precautions are taken, though, the interaction between humans and lions can be truly fascinating.
