Evan's mother, Catherine Kennedy, shared the clip on social media yesterday, writing: 'The lion at Edinburgh Zoo thought Evan was dinner.' 'It was jumping up at the glass so I was trying to get a picture of Evan with the lion behind him. Edinburgh Zoo is home to five Asiatic lions - Jayendra, Roberta, Mitaali, Keshari and Kushanu.
