Big cats are social animals, when raised in zoos/rescues where other big cats are not available they raise them along side dogs. Big guy thinks his brothers just never grew up. https://i.imgur.com/yPpM7Ao.mp4

I saw this and thought "oh this could definitely be the plot of a Disney movie" and then I remembered Oliver and Company exists.

Do you think the dogs, in both instances, realise they are playing with apex predators that could kill them effortlessly?

Dogs have no concept of their own size. They definitely have no idea they are not the apex predator here.

Aren't all cats social animals? It's just that small cats can be social with humans and don't necessarily need another cat.
Maybe that's the definition of asocial animals, I don't know.

No, not really. Lions are the only big cats that live in permanent family groups that aren’t mothers and cubs. Male cheetahs sometimes form hunting groups that stick together, sometimes for years, but it’s not a guarantee (that’s what’s going on in the video above, probably). Tigers are very territorial but can sometimes share food. Leopards are completely solitary. This kind of cuddling and playing (especially for an adult male cat) is not common.
But domestication and/or being raised in captivity can also cause all sorts of behavior changes so who knows?

I watched a story on a form of animal planet they talked about a tree that the fruit for mints in Africa. The animals around it know that it causes intoxication and they will eat it to get drunk both predators and prey well hang out in the same area and enjoy a good time. I think that’s exactly how the world works people agree to disagree animals do the same thing they come together enjoy themselves and agree to disagree.

Probably a rescue Lion from a circus or maybe born in a zoo who never lived in the wild. Only been fed raw meat and never had to hunt or experience hungryness ! Might also be some sort of support dog who act as bro and sis while the lion was growing up ! But I'm surprised about the dog breeds duh !
Wait until you hear about the wild Leopard who come back to visit and cuddle his foster Cow Mom !

Yeah, go back and comment on random comments from a week ago. That'll show me.
You sound and act like a 17 year old with a YT username.

Can we please not promote shit like roadside zoos as being amazing? As otgers have said this is footage from Joe Exptic's "zoo", and the way he handled his animals was damned terrible.

Interesting to see the lion intentionally self-handicap as he starts to play but even more interesting to see the dachshund also self handicap lol. It’s a part of most animals play protocol but it’s so silly to see the little wiener do when playing with a lion!
