Even though lions are the kings of the jungle, the lionesses are the fiercest ones! No one should ever get close to them, especially when they are hungry because you never know what can happen. However, lionesses seem to change their behavior once they are put next to people they grew up with and these upcoming pictures are the perfect example of that!
