Happy day for the pigeon

This pigeon ran into trouble when he had the imprudence to fly into the lion's cage. The drama played out in front of visitors to the Adelaide Zoo in Australia. Fortunately, the dove managed to avoid a terrible death in the mouth of a hungry lion, and the bird broke free at the last moment. Just a scene from the cartoon about Sylvester and Tweety!

1. In one fraction of a second, a lion armed with claws and teeth jumped on a poor bird that had the audacity to fly past his muzzle.

2. Everything was in favor of the big cat, but as soon as the lion opened its jaws in order to better grab the prey, the dove managed to break free.

3. And the lion was left with nothing. More precisely, with a mouth full of feathers.

4. These amazing pictures were taken by photographer David Gartland, who came to the zoo with his family.

5. “The main thing is to be in the right place at the right time,” says David.

6. "I didn't have time to set up my camera, but it was useless."

7. Adelaide Zoo is the second oldest zoo in Australia and the only major urban zoo on the continent that is run and owned by a non-profit organization.

8. The zoo is located north of the city center in South Australia.

9. Sorry, buddy, maybe you'll get lucky next time.
