WATCH: Lion Tries To Pounce On Toddler, Smashes Into Glass

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Frightening moments between a lion and a toddler were captured on video at a Japan zoo.

The YouTube video shows a lion charging at the toddler before running face first into the glass.

The boy turned his back to the lion and that's when the attack happened.

The glass was reportedly introduced in April so that people could get an up closed look at the predators.

Animal rights activists say it's cruel and dangerous.
