A lioness at the Oregon Zoo found 1-year-old Jack quite appetizing. With his zebra-like jacket, the little tot was lucky that there was a thick window separating him and the pouncing lion.

“It was Jack’s first trip to the zoo.” His mom Heather Baltzor recounted, “We didn’t even realize he looked like a zebra until we got home but a lot of the animals in the zoo — the crocodiles and the jaguars — apparently did. They would come up to the glass and look at him.”

“We were not worried. We thought it was hilarious,” she added.
