When a lion is eating, it is generally not a good idea to get too close, as one tourist in South Africa discovered.<br /><br />The video shows the big cat eating some raw chicken quite calmly before flexing its muscles and then suddenly leaping at the tourist filming him.<br /><br />Luckily for the visitor, there was a cage between the two, and the lion quickly returned to his meal.<br /><br />The video was filmed on 7 October 2016.
