An unidentified holidaymaker decided to take a chance, and not only put his life at risk, but many other tourists' lives as well

According to the video posted YouTube by Wildlife Sightings, "Lions in the open plains of the Mara and Serengeti occasionally use a vehicles shade as cover when there are no trees in sight, this doesn’t mean that they trust humans but only the vehicles. To try to touch is incredibly stupid and ignorant of the tourist that filmed the sighting."
