Japanese Zoo Escape Drill Goes Viral And People Are Laughing At The Real Lions’ Reaction
We have all been through various emergency drills, right? Whether that would be a fire drill at work or a beautiful flight attendant waving their hand around, going through all the things that could go wrong on-flight. But, as it turns out, the Internet is full of surprises and offers not only endless cat videos but entertaining ways to look at security measures as well. Sure, it’s important to look into such things seriously but what could be more useful than a drill that for once is actually involving. We would join one for sure!

This Japanese Zoo Decided To Perform A Lion Escape
We all love to feel prepared when it comes to the worst things we can imagine and Tobe Zoo in Ehime is no exception.
And it totally made sense to have a human dressed up as a lion
The footage shows the person pretending to be an escaped lion wandering around the zoo most likely looking for prey.
The fake lion was observed by the real zoo inhabitants
As the imposter was roaming the zoo freely, the real lions kept there observed the scene. We’ll never know if it wasn’t intended but maybe they have learned the lesson as well?
While this may seem hilarious, no one would want to face it in real life
While this may have been a good practice for the zoo workers, we hope they never get to use the nets and tranquilizers during a real event.
The real lions were not impressed
Good thing the lion family living in the zoo was not tempted to follow the example of the imposter and stayed cuddled up together, observing the ludicrous scene.
Here’s how people reacted to the hilarious video

Does it occur to anyone that if they REALLLLLY wanted to.....those lion could just leap over that little tiny "fence" ?

This happened years ago at the SF Zoo; some drunk idiots started to tease the tiger and it become so agitated that it actually jump the fence and killed one of them. The other one lived but has scares to show for his actions. Sadly, because of this, the tiger was put down.

I used to buy my pet food at a store that hosted a greyhound rescue group on Saturday mornings. On the Saturday just before Easter a person wearing a rabbit costume walked through and every greyhound's ears went straight up as they stared at him. Good thing the guy didn't break into a run.

Not an escape drill but a dolphin stranding one. I played the dolphin's part... I kicked everyone...

Real lions are saying; What a wuss, I could've ate three, maybe four of those weird monkeys by now.

That lioness on the left finds the escapee very daring and attractive.

Looks like the lions are thinking, "Is that really how they think we would do that"!?! "Boy are they in for a surprise"!
