Lion watches Saudi family prepare feast

This is the moment a hungry lion shows up at a Saudi family’s home as they prepare a religious meat feast.The incident took place during the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha to honour the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God's command.

The sacrifice was later replaced by a lamb.Muslims around the world often sacrifice an animal, usually sheep or cattle, while two-thirds of the meat is given away to the poor and needy while the other third is eaten by the family.
