Amateur video filmed by a guest at a Las Vegas hotel is attracting hundreds of thousands of hits on the internet.
Filmed from behind a protective window, the guests watched as two trainers entered a lion's cage.
What starts out as a normal holiday video quickly turns into a shocking scene as the lion lunges at one of the men.
The trainer escapes to safety, seemingly unscathed.
The video has been watched almost half-a-million times since it was uploaded to the popular video sharing site Youtube earlier his week.
