A tourist in South Africa was hospitalized with septic shock when he attempted to come in very close contact with two lions and pet them, when one of them bit his hand.
The video showing the wild animal biting the man's hand has gone viral on the internet.
55-year-old Pieter Nortjé and his wife Ilze traveled to South Africa to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
Among other things, they also visited a lion's place, located within the premises of the residence where they lived.
The video shows the man saying jokingly "if you bite me, I'll bite you too."
Then, a second lion approaches him and the 55-year-old sounds like, "Come here, let your dad catch you."
However, this move had a bad ending...
