...Amanda Bourassa was taking her family on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Busch Garden facilities when Max, the 12-year-old lion in question, took her arm off just below the elbow. He was already excited; Bourassa had just fed Max some red meat as part of a training exercise, and the lion may have smelled the meat on Bourassa's latex glove.
