Most animals, even some dangerous ones, are known to show special affection for children, as they instinctively feel that children are not going to harm them.

Axar.az informs, the video below shows a toddler standing before an enclosure where a pride of lions is living. Suddenly, a male lion starts to play with the baby girl, scratching the glass of the enclosure with his paws. The girl's parents, seeing how happy their child is to see such a huge animal so close, even jokingly suggest their daughter take the lion home with them.
