Soccer Fan Brings Life Lion Wearing Jersey to Stadium to Support Team (Photo

A Palestinian football fan (Alex) brought a LION CUB to watch the game in a crowded stadium.

Alex was seen in the stands for a crunch match between Shabab Rafah and rivals El-Sadaka in the Palestinian league, clad in his team's jersey.

Fans, far from being scared, were reportedly delighted by the presence of the predator, while younger fans played with him after the match.

The lion was born in a zoo in Rafah but the owner was forced to sell the cubs in order to keep feeding other animals.
