You might/n’t have seen a real lion in real life. If you are just wandering to see a lion a very close, then I have a photo of it for you. Below is a photo of a lion staring at the photographer at wildlife park outside Lahore. Atif Saeed, 38-year old Pakistani photographer had captured this incredible picture of lion by slowly creeping out of his’s cars open door. He told to NDTV that he sat on the ground, threw stone to the animal and snapped a couple of Lion’s photos coming towards him angrily and withing the seconds as the lion noticed the Saeed, he leapt in his direction. “This is what it looks like to stare danger in the face”.

“It was a pretty close encounter,” he conceded to ABC News. “I was laughing afterwards at the time, but I don’t think I’d ever be able to do something like that again.”
The Photographer retreated to his car, where we hope he locked the doors.
He took the photo in 2012, though it went viral earlier this month. He shared the photo on Facebook in 2013, titling it “Angry king;” In January of this year, he shared it on 500px, calling it “The Ghost and the Darkness.”
