Lion Asks Photographer For Help – Wait Until You Find Out Why

It came as no surprise to them that he was the one who would do everything to save this poor lion…

It wasn’t the first time that Paul would set everything aside to help a single animal who really needed his help. For example, he had once found a zebra who was stuck in a hole in the ground. He had spent hours trying to get the wild animal out of the hole. In the end, he succeeded. It was the best feeling he had ever felt in his life: he had saved an animal. And he didn’t even take a picture that day!

He was reminded of this day when he saw the fat lion behind him.

He had never seen anything like this. There were a lot of lions in the national park, but none of them had ever been this fat. You just didn’t get this fat in nature, especially when you spend your days walking around trying to find food to survive. There was something seriously wrong here and Paul was going to help to the best of his ability.

But would it be enough?

It was a regular day at work for Paul. He had spent the morning discussing the plan for the day with the rangers who would keep him safe. There were poachers around, so their plan was to keep an eye open for any suspicious activity or shady figures.

This briefing could not have prepared him for what he was about to encounter…

Seeing any lion at all in this part of the park was strange. This was not the territory of any known group of lions, so Paul was shocked when the lone lion came up to him. He must’ve wandered off from his family. This wasn’t the only shocking thing, however. The sheer size of the lion was unbelievable.

Paul knew there was something wrong.

What would cause a lion to grow so fat and wander off without the rest of his group? This wasn’t normal lion behavior, so Paul knew something was wrong. He just didn’t realize how wrong it was just yet. He would soon find out the shocking truth behind the giant lion.

The photographer approached to get a better look at what was going on.

Paul had already realized that something was seriously wrong when he was still at a large distance from the lion, but now that he was close there was no denying the seriousness of the issue. He immediately called a veterinarian and lion expert, because there was no way he could handle this on his own.

All he could do was pray that the vet would show up in time…

The vet arrived within minutes, he had just finished a task close by. Paul was extremely glad to see him, because this meant they might be able to save the lion. The vet took one look at the lion and immediately knew something was seriously wrong. They sedated the fat beast and took him to the closest hospital.

They hoped they would be able to save the lion…

Paul was not allowed in the surgery room, so he spent his time pacing around the waiting room. He knew something was wrong with the lion, but what was it? Would they be able to save him? There were so many questions… Paul’s love for animals made the wait feel like an eternity.

Then the door to the surgery room opened and the doctor walked out.

“I can’t believe this!”, the veterinarian yelled. He looked shocked. What had happened in the surgery room? What was the doctor so shocked about? Paul approached the vet with these questions, but he didn’t get an answer. “Sorry, I have to hurry. Hold on”, the man said.

He paced off, leaving Paul in confusion. What was going on?

Paul followed the veterinarian, barely keeping up with the man’s walking speed. When they reached the phones, the vet stopped and immediately dialed the police. Apparently he had found something that was serious enough to want to immediately notify the authorities.

Did this have anything to do with the poachers who had been seen around the national park?

The vet spent five minutes on the phone. Paul tried to make sense of the conversation, but he only understood snippets. Apparently the doctor had found something during the surgery, something that had shocked him and his assistants like nothing ever had. When the vet finally hung up the phone, Paul bombarded him with questions.

What was going on? Why did the police need to be notified? Was the lion alright?
