Well, we have already discussed a bit about when tigers eat men here at Greenpacks. And we know who the most fearsome kittens in the world are, too. Not to mention, which celebrity wants to save the giant feline. Can you say Indiana Jones? But, what happens when man becomes dinner for their cousins, the lion? A mentally-ill man in Zimbabwe was invited to dinner, as the main course, to a pride of lions. Three leg bones, two fingers, three ribs and his private parts were all that were found left of a man who was last seen at a motel. The lions spit out his blood stained clothes.

Get this… a guard saw the whole thing! The guard heard a man scream, then hid somewhere safely, peeped out and watched the lions attack the man and otherwise enjoy a free meal. With guards like that don’t we all feel safe now? It seems that once lions feed on a human, they want dessert, more humans. I think alligators are the same. What did one alligator say to the other? “I like eating people. They are chewy on the outside and crunchy on the inside.”

So, who is responsible when a human finds himself in the way of and on the unexpected dinner menu of lions, and tiger and bears? Oh, my?

Four tiny kittens, known as prionailurus rubiginosus, were born at a zoo in Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent.

The rusty spotted cats are about the size of a rat when fully grown and weigh a whopping 40 grams, about one third that of kittens of domestic cats.

The difference, these little guys don’t know how small they are.

In the wild, they are found in Sri Lanka and parts of India. They are also fearless.

“A female with kittens will defend them without thinking of herself. They will quite happily attack us – they are so small we have to be careful not to tread on them,” says one zoo keeper.

“In their own minds these cats are tigers – they think they are much bigger than they really are. They are quite fearless.”

These four kittens are part of a breeding program to ensure they are protected from any catastrophic event that might threaten their extinction.

Lemme see, that would be us trying to protect the fearless. From whom? Us, probably.

The cats will attack and eat anything they can catch not mindful that they might be dinner for some much larger creature. They are nocturnal so as to not be easy prey for birds and bigger cats.

Reminds me of the bumble bee. The bee doesn’t know he can’t fly and does it anyway. GP wonders what these little cats could do if we would just leave them alone.

What do you think of capturing animals to ‘protect’ them?
