Zuri, a three-year-old lioness at Louisiana’s Audubon Zoo, recently startled zoogoers after going into full-on prowl mode when she spotted a small child on the opposite side of the exhibit’s enclosure.
Video goes on to show Zuri repeatedly pawing at the enclosure’s glass wall as a woman sits beside the big cat with a toddler. Although no one was hurt, it’s safe to say a few hearts in the room were pounding just a little faster than normal.
