3-year-old Sofia Walker stood her ground against Malik, a 7-year-old lion.
Culture Buzz How has no one noticed this in almost 500 years?!?! Artist Ron Piccirillo discovered a whole series of hidden messages from Leonardo da Vinci in the Mona Lisa simply by looking at it from an extreme angle. The most startling of these Renaissance Easter Eggs being three animal heads in the background.
Culture Buzz Behold, the Derp Of The Jungle! In its own way, it's quite impressive.
This may be a little geeky for some, but I love how hysterical and peeved this guy gets. Meanwhile, reviews on the whole for the latest operating system are mixed.
The most advanced, powerful Mac Operating System yet. Honestly I'm a little worried that it may be too powerful. (From @kookizu, via @rcbth)
Culture Buzz Or statutory rape. You say potato. Oh, hey, it won a prestigious advertising award. The judges who saw this apparently popped some Sportage in their pants. Blech. (via copyranter.blogspot.com)
Tech Buzz The next big innovation from Apple will allow you to store your iTunes library in a cloud, making it accessible from anywhere on any Apple device. New operating systems Lion and iOS 5 were also announced.
South African farmer Andre Potgieter likes to sleep with his pet lion, Storm. Careful, she's a real wild cat in the sack. Barf.
He seems pretty confident about cuddling wild animals. Fortunately, the cubs enjoyed his affections.
Steve spends some time canoodling with Tonka, a male Barbary lion cub. There's a lot of gratuitous interspecies head-licking in this video.
This little lion had her mom die at birth… but not to worry, this helpful mutt is there to help the cub grow up with her own puppies.
The Werribee Open Range Zoo in Melbourne has introduced a new exhibit that essentially simulates a lion attack. It's supposed to be authentic and exhilarating, but it looks terrifying to me.
Okay, they're not really bullying the six-week-old lion/tiger mix, although he sure does look scared. Sixth grade would have been so much easier if the bullies had fins.
Panic Bear is terrified of lions, so this zoo in Korea decided to throw a cub into his pen just to see what happens. Note the incredibly slow reaction time once he notices the lion cub. Panic Bears have infamously slow reaction times.
