‘Invisible’ Lion Cage – Too Close For Comfort?

clipped from www.dailymail.co.uk Jeepers… are you sure this thing is safe? Amazing ‘invisible’ cage which puts you a whisker away from lion’s jaws The four passengers in the jeep must feel a whisker away from death as a lion jumps up on to their bonnet for lunch. But that’s all part of the attraction. The jeep is a new zoo exhibit which allows visitors to get incredibly close to the lions. The back part of the vehicle, up to where the windscreen should be, is actually on the outside of the reinforced glass cage. The bonnet is on the inside, and covered with meat to entice the big cats closer. This incredible Lions on the Edge exhibit, which puts you just inches from a lion’s jaws, is one of the biggest attractions at the zoo. ‘You don’t realise just how big they are until they are staring you in the face like that. This unique opportunity to get up close to the fearsome cats has won the 25-year-old zoo an award ‘It’s both frightening, exciting and exhilarating all at the same time.’
