Here’s an idea: put your baby up against the glass of a lion enclosure at a zoo and then film what happens next. What’s the worst that could happen?!?

These parents were obviously confident that the toughened glass wasn’t going to suddenly give out or crack. And they’re probably right. But is it worth even the admittedly small risk?

There is always a chance something will go wrong. And you’re essentially offering your baby up as food for this hungry lion. If the glass was to shatter then I’m afraid it’s all over for the adorable little kid.

Maybe I’m being a little too cautious but this is also teaching the toddler that it’s safe to be near big, scary animals. Unfortunately there won’t always be a thick pane of glass between it and him.
