Man saved lion on a cliff – what happened next is unbelievable

One morning, during an especially heavy downpour, Thomas was patrolling his section. Visibility was poor, and the jeep’s wipers struggled to keep up with the streams of water on the windshield. The ranger moved slowly, carefully scanning the surroundings for animals in distress.
