Crazed Desert Lion



The Crazed Desert Lion is one of the three antagonists of the Monty Python sketch Scott Of The Sahara.

Biography
The lion appears at the beginning of the sketch when the Narrator tells the audience to "Watch lieutenant Scott's death struggle with a crazed desert lion". The lion is then shown stepping out in front of Scott and the others, followed by stock footage of a lion jumping towards Scott, who isn't shown. The scene then cuts to Scott wrestling with the lion on the ground. It manages to fend him off and beat him down with a chair, but he kicks the lion in the shin and sends it hopping around. The lion takes a knife to kill Scott, but he distracts it and kicks the knife out of it's hand before punching the lion on the jaw. The lion falls back in slow motion and lands. Blood sprays out of the lion, signifying it's death.
