Fingerz42-
Lions react in a very frenzied way when they're hit, even if mortally wounded. They either immediately vacate the area after being hit, orthey charge andclimb all over you like a pissed off swarm of bees.
The lion charged, jumped up almost missing his target, falls over, gets back up and runs away with quite a bit of left over energy. A wild lion would let that energy loose all over the hunter until he was killed.
Speak with some PH's or guys who've hunted Africa, they'll tell you. read from the likes of Ruark, Capstick, Caramojo Bell, etc and when you absorb the intensity in their writings regarding lion charges, you'll understand my point.
Just my .02 worth

Yes 358, that would be alion with a REAL BAD ATTITUDE after that encounter. He didn't display this, other than the initial charge. Although that is some neat video, that lion isn't being hunted, he's being put down like they wouldat a zoo if one got loose. I's some kind of game farm they are on judging by the gates.[:@]If you stop the film you can see the gates.

I think that just as scary as the charging lion was all the cross-fire shooting. They were very fortunate that someone didn't end up with a lethal heavy caliber slug through them that would have killed them as fast as the lion could have.
