Check out the film Roar (1981). Pretty sure it’s on YouTube. Starring Melanie Griffith and about 50 lions. It’s unreal. I could not believe it existed, or people were crazy enough to make it.
>Griffith received 50 stitches and underwent facial reconstruction after being attacked by a lioness. Although it was feared that she would lose an eye, she recovered without being disfigured.
