A thrill-seeking dad escaped a "fearsome" lion while riding his motorbike from the UK to Nigeria.
Kunle Adeyanju, from New Cross, London, traveled through a game reserve in Mali and says he was forced to ride for his life after locking eyes with a “very hairy” male predator.
The 45-year-old, who was riding for charity, says he sped furiously through the dessert terrain but was then swiped off the road when a truck veered his way and left him vulnerable like a "sitting duck" in the wild savanna.
