Scott Baldwin, a rugby player for Wales, was bitten by a lion while attempting to pet it ‘as if it’s a kitten.’ This 29-year-old was given several stitches to his wounded hand and was forced to miss a rugby game that was later lost 44-25.

As said on BBC, “[T]he 29-year-old [Scott Baldwin] missed his team’s latest Pro14 fixture because he had been bitten by a lion…Baldwin should recover from his injury to fly back to Wales with the team, after receiving [numerous stitches] to the wound.”
