A 42-year-old Russian circus performer named Alexey Makarenko could have tragically lost his life when a lion lunged at him, sinking its teeth and claws into a few places on his body.
The fans present at the show were terrified by this monstrous scene, which ended without death thanks to the artist’s wife who rushed to save her man.
The wife of the man in question, Olga Borisova (43 years old), is also a lion tamer, and she did not hesitate to chase away the big cat.
This incident took place in an arena in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, where 1200 people were gathered to watch the show.
The horrible moment was obviously captured by video and it is very terrifying.
