A tot managed to calm down a lioness at a zoo - with a single kiss. <br /><br />Video shows Lennon Croft, one, at the Milwaukee County Zoo leaning in for a peck and calming the big cat - which is pawing at the glass.<br /><br />Lennon and his mother Michaela Croft, 38, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA visit the lioness, whom Lennon loves, every week. <br /><br />During one of their visits, the lioness was interacting with Lennon more than usual - laser-focused on the tot and making him nervous. <br /><br />Michaela, a stay-at-home-mum, said: "He loved the lioness and we would see her every time she was out! <br /><br />"She kept pouncing and interacting with Lennon this time. He was getting nervous at first and would run away."<br /><br />Michaela thinks that Lennon leaned in for the kiss because he thought the lioness wanted one. <br /><br />She said: "I think he started to hug and kiss the lioness because he genuinely thought that’s what she wanted from him while pawing at the glass."<br /><br />"He asked to watch the lion videos for months after and kept going back to her. <br /><br />"She was always so playful with him after that."
