Lion tries to attack girl through glass

This is the heart-stopping moment a lion launches an attack on a little girl through the glass of a zoo enclosure.

The footage shows a young lion staring at four-year-old Chelsea sitting next to the glass.

After a while stalking its ‘prey’, the lion suddenly paws at the glass as if it was trying to reach the kid.

The filmer writes: ''My daughter sat down to look at the lion display through the glass while eating biscuits.

''The lion went to play her but glass saved her of course.

''She was not fazed at all and didn’t even blink.''

The footage was captured on July 28 at Western Plains zoo in Dubbo, Australia.
