Happy Friday! Long week? Think about this chap, Orenzo, in 1890. Got his thigh seized and hand torn by a lion (Nero) then another lion, Bob, jumped him from behind. Unbothered, he beat them off, then put all five lions through the remainder of the planned show. Just another day at the office 🤷🏻♀️

The lion attacked Orenzo in the den, seizing him by the thigh and tearing his left hand. The tamer beat his antagonist back, and was then attacked from behind by another lion called Bob.
