Would you tickle a lion's belly?

A zoo in Chile gives thrill seekers a chance to do just that, albeit while comfy and snug in the safety of a cage mounted on a safari truck.

Atop it, lured by a slap of fresh red meat, is the mighty heaving feline.

Travellers ride inside the caged-in back of the truck.

Then it's up to the lions to decide what they feel like doing: ambling up for a sniff, climbing atop to eat the meat and look at the cowering humans below, or even lying down for a rest.

Then, just stick a brave finger through the metal grates and there you are, touching the king of the jungle's tummy.
