When wildlife photographer Atif Saeed was
snapping pictures of the lion and he attacked
him. The incident is of a wildlife park in
Lahore, Pakistan. When Saeed found the lion, he
was driving around the park. He went by his
side, got out of his vehicle, and started taking
pictures. He was about 3 meters (10 feet) away
at that time when that lion didnt appreciate
his presence and attacked him. Saeed took lovely
pictures of the lion before hopping into his
Jeep. He probably escaped because he left the
door open of the vehicle, possibly he was
expecting the lion to attack him. Later he said
the whole incident was hilarious and especially
after he was lucky to rescue. But at the same
time also made one promise - to never put himself
in such a situation anymore because it was too
deadly. 2. Tracey Shelton Almost Died After An
