A zoo keeper (bob Bennet) Bob Bennett, 54, was preparing food inside the enclosure on Tuesday when the lions - Malik and Zulu - passed through an open gate and attacked him for about 15 to 20 minutes. Mr Bennett had gone into the enclosure to leave food when the lions also entered through a door which had accidentally been left unlocked. Mr Bennett says remaining still and quiet was the key to staying alive long enough to be rescued. "Obviously the initial bites were very painful, but then the adrenaline kicked in and I wasn't feeling any pain at all," Mr Bennett says. "I'm not really sure what kept me still and calm. I'm not sure." You can take the Lion out of wild but you can't take the wild out of the lion.
