Shocking video shows toddler attacked by lion on live tv
A fun television spot turned terrifying in the blink of an eye.
Shocking footage of a lion cub attacking a toddler on live television is horrifying viewers around the world.
The clip is from Mexican television programme, Con Sello De Mujer, featuring a lion cub and its handlers meeting a toddler and her mum.
Originally aired in 2009, the clip shows the little girl whine before the lion suddenly attacks her legs and attempts to bite them.
What follows is a panicked tug-of-war between the girl’s mum and the lion and its handlers.

Thankfully one handler is able to prise the lions jaws open and free the screaming little girl who is then hugged by her mother.
The clip ends awkwardly on the presenter - who clearly wasn’t expecting anything so dramatic to happen that day!
