When MGM Hotel Lions Attack

MGM Grand Hotel Lions Get a Little Frisky. (Daily Mail Image)
Newlyweds Titus and Drew Ellis were in for one heck of a show at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas as they watched a lion kept behind a glass enclosure attack his trainers. As the trainers entered the lion’s area, within minutes the male lion snapped and attacked one of the trainers which was all caught on video by the happy couple.
The male lion was definitely not having a good day or probably felt threatened by the two trainers which could have fueled the attack. Luckily, the second trainer was able to step in and distract the animal which led to the release of the other trainer which immediately made a b-line to the exit door, leaving his colleague to deal with the crazed lions.
Luckily the attack was mild and lucky for the trainer, his limbs are intact. According to Jack Hanna, a wild animal expert, if the female would have attacked it could have been deadly. I have to assume that since these lions probably have access to their own personal Vegas-style buffet, they probably weren’t very hungry which is probably the reason as to why the attack wasn’t more vicious. Now the male lion was just simply claiming his territory or maybe he was just having a diva day.
