Wild Life Week: Why Would a Researcher Pull a Lion’s Tail?

Wild Life Week: Why Would a Researcher Pull a Lion’s Tail?

The Atlas Obscura Podcast

Producer Abbey Perrault takes a trip into the Kenyan savanna, where she meets researchers who are studying how people share space with unlikely neighbors: lions. Along the way, she learns why a researcher would possibly pull the tail of a lion, and gets *extremely* up close and personal with two massive lionesses.
