Animals are much smarter than humans think, sometimes even smarter than humans.
You’ve probably heard some amazing stories about pets rescuing their owners in different ways, such as warning them about house fires or even smelling cancer.
But it can be argued that domesticated animals are so in tune with humans because they are always around them. Is it possible to save a wild animal or a human? And even if that were possible, would they even interfere?
In 2005, a 12-year-old Kenyan girl was abducted by four men on her way home from school.
It is a very common story that could have ended in tragedy if not for the pride of the lions who came in to rescue her.
One week after the abduction, the abductors were chased by three lions, who were guarding the victim until police arrived to rescue him. Police say they found the girl “shocked, terrified” and surrounded by lions.
The mass beasts quickly dispersed when the officers arrived. She was bruised from being manhandled by the kidnappers, but the lions never laid a paw on her.
Lion experts say that the lions may have planned to eat the girl themselves, but they were distracted by her crying, which is very similar to the sound of a lion cub.
In any case, these lions should be honored as real heroes.
