DUBAI: Driving in Baghdad is an eventful experience most of the time, but even the most experienced local motorists were left somewhat amazed when they saw a lion leaning out of a car window.
The jaw-dropping moment was captured on video and has been doing the rounds on social media ever since.

But not all have reacted favorably to the shocking sight, with some saying the lion’s owner had shown a “disregard for other peoples’ lives” by taking the wild animal on a car ride.
Others called on the authorities to intervene and to punish the driver.
