'Lion Lodge' Lives Up to Its Name With Close Hot Tub Encounter

The "Lion Lodge" at a wildlife park in the UK more than matched its name for a guest recently, who described being "terrified" when a lion dropped by as he was enjoying a nighttime dip in the hot tub. Callum Emmanuel told Storyful that while he was in the tub he was surprised by a lion that "came up against the window staring at me. It then began to try and scratch down the glass." Emmanuel posted the encounter from his stay at the https://www.aspinallfoundation.org/port-lympne/port-lympne-news/how-to-book-lion-lodge/ Lion Lodge in Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve on November 11. He also shared the moment two male lions joined him in the morning as he enjoyed some pancakes for breakfast. The hotel says the lodge offers guests a chance to be "a whisker away from our majestic lions". (Footage by Callum Emmanuel/Storyful via Getty Images UGC)
