<div><p>What's the difference between a lion and a house cat? About 500 pounds, but not much else. </p><p>If you don't believe that, just watch this video from the Glen Garriff Conservation Park in South Africa. Smokey the lion has picked out his spot in the middle of the road and refuses to leave. Then Mike, one of the keepers who works at the park, fearlessly strolls up and something incredible happens.</p><p>If I hadn't seen this video with my own two eyes I wouldn't believe it!</p><div><amp-facebook data-href="https://www.facebook.com/glengarrifffarm/videos/858198104315880" layout="responsive" height="600" width="640"></amp-facebook></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>Mike, who deserves to be called the lion whisperer from now on, greets Smokey like this every day. Apparently, the big cat waits for him to show up each morning and won't leave until Mike pets him.</p><p>Suzanne Scott, who works at the park, told the <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4249642/Lion-refuses-ranger-strokes-mane.html">Daily Mail</a> she thinks "Smokey often delays this process for more attention from Mike, who is his favourite person."</p><p>"But after all, Smokey is a big cat," she says, "and we all know that everything with cats is on their own terms."</p><div><amp-facebook data-href="https://www.facebook.com/glengarrifffarm/videos/924181827717507" layout="responsive" height="600" width="640"></amp-facebook></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>And Smokey isn't the only lion who looks forward to seeing Mike. Bright Eyes, another one of the park's 80 lions, loves his massages to.</p><div><amp-facebook data-href="https://www.facebook.com/glengarrifffarm/videos/937480006387689" layout="responsive" height="600" width="640"></amp-facebook></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><h3>Share these lovely lion videos with someone you know!</h3></div>
