EDITORS COMMENTS
Michael Brown fearlessly embraces his role at the lion park, taking great pride in his work. At just 16 years old, hailing from Chester-le-Street, County Durham, he finds himself immersed in a holiday job like no other. Even the seemingly mundane task of painting road markings within Lambton's nearby park carries an exhilarating dash of adventure for Michael. Undeterred by the presence of majestic lions roaming nearby, Michael remains focused on his task. With two wardens armed with rifles standing guard to maintain order and safety, he feels reassured as he diligently applies paint to the ground. Little does he know that a curious lion has decided to join him on the line! Unfazed by this unexpected visitor, Michael simply continues with his painting without missing a beat. His bravery shines through as he effortlessly carries out his duties amidst these magnificent creatures.
