I was, like everybody, amazed when I watched this video. I first saw it on BBC and then on Youtube.
It is amazing how this child remains unfazed by the hungry beast. Instead of being afraid he seems to be playing with and enjoying the 'attention' from her. The boy is not too young to see the danger still he just stays in his place and at one point he even tries to have a small conversation with the lioness. This conversation is clearer and 'audible' in the video on BBC.
This incident is one of the many where we realize that the children live mostly on a different plane to the adults. They almost have their own world which if an adult succeeds in penetrating he/she is able to bring up a child who is one in a million in many ways.
