In a recent video, a curious lion cub encountered an African rock python.
Despite the python’s threatening display, the cub attacked, leading the python to counterattack by biting the lion’s face.
Realizing the python’s strength, the cub struggled to escape but couldn’t break free.
Fortunately, two other lions quickly intervened, pulling the python away and rescuing the cub.
African rock pythons, among the largest in the world, can grow up to 6 meters long and are known for their powerful constriction, even preying on crocodiles.
