"zebra" was actually a one year old boy named Jack, who was visiting the zoo with his family. Despite the mix wholesale jerseys up, the African lioness, who is affectionately named Kya, tried her best to push her way through the thick glass wall that separated the two so she could wrap her large jaws around little Jack's head.

The entire incident, which occured on April 26, was captured on cheap jerseys video and uploaded to the Internet. The video has since gone viral. Jack was seemingly unfazed by the ordeal and his family can be heard laughing in the background. At one point his mother, Heather Baltzor, encouraged him to say, "hi kitty, kitty" to Kya the lion.

Baltzor discussed the unique interaction with The Huffington Post today."It was Jack's first trip to the zoo. We didn't even realize he looked like a zebra until we got home but a lot of the animals in the zoo the crocodiles and the jaguars apparently did. Asked if her Wholesale NFL Jerseys son will be wearing the same black and white striped outfit, she replied, "I think we definitely should."

Here is my Wednesday column explaining why Russell Wilson is better than Colin Kaepernick.

SANTA CLARA You have to admit, Russell Wilson looked like a miniature combination of Joe Montana and Steve Young Monday night against the Saints Montana's cool demeanor and precision from the pocket, Young's explosive ability to make plays on the run. Wilson has been that Montana Young combo most of this season, his second in the league.

Kaepernick's combo this season hasn't been nearly as good. Sure, sometimes he looks like Brett Favre. But, other times he looks like a guy doing a bad impression of Alex Smith the sacks, the inability to convert third downs at a respectable rate, the not throwing to receivers who are open, plus a bunch of delay of game penalties and fumbled snaps sprinkled in here and there. Call those Kaepernick Specials.

Last season, Kaepernick seemed better than Wilson Kaepernick went to the Super Bowl and Wilson didn't. But this season, it is not close. Wilson is way better.

1. This season, Kaepernick is completing 57.8 percent of his passes stink o rama. Wilson is completing 64.9 percent of his passes great o rama. When Montana was Wilson's age, Montana completed 63.7 percent of his passes. Try to get your head around that one.

2. He's fast when he gets his long stride turning, but he's not elusive in the open field or in the pocket. Elusiveness always has been one of Wilson's best traits. He runs circles around defenders, like Young used to do, and he sure runs circles around Kaepernick.

3. When Young was scrambling, he always knew when to pass, when to run and when to pump fake. These things were like breathing for him, and they're like breathing for Wilson. This season, Kaepernick has not been a good improviser. He's been mechanical, like Alex Smith.

On Wednesday, Jim Harbaugh gushed to the Bay Area media about Wilson's ability to improvise: "(He has) that feel that only so many quarterbacks have had that have ever played the game to extend plays."

"Does Kaepernick share that ability?" a reporter asked Harbaugh.

Harbaugh paused and said, "I think they're both very talented quarterbacks." He could have said, "Yes, Colin shares the ability to improvise." But he didn't. Harbaugh didn't give Kaepernick praise he doesn't deserve. Finally, Harbaugh added, "They both throw really well from the pocket, too."

4. On Monday Night when the Seahawks scored 27 points in the first half against the Saints, Wilson completed 10 of 13 passes from the pocket 77 percent. Wilson sees the whole field and goes through more reads during his passing progressions than Kaepernick who tends to stare at his first read like someone lip reading a menu and, if the first read isn't open, Kaepernick just runs.

5. Wilson already carries himself like Peyton Manning. Wilson understands NFL defenses, understands situational football and understands how to act Bene Benwikere Panthers Jersey like the face of a franchise. Kaepernick forgets how many timeouts he has and runs out of bounds when he has to stay in bounds boneheaded stuff. Kaepernick rejects being the face of the franchise. Look at any of his press conferences.

And ever since Kaepernick's last three plays of the Super Bowl when he failed at the goal line, he has failed under pressure. This season, he has lost to every team he's faced likely to be in the playoffs, and in fourth quarters his QB rating is 51. When he's behind, his QB rating is 58. Compare that to Wilson, whose fourth quarter QB rating is 93 and whose QB rating while losing is 94. Like Montana, Wilson is cool under pressure. But Kaepernick is unsure of himself when things don't go his way or things get tight.

I'm throwing in a bonus reason why Wilson is better than Kaepernick, and it has nothing to do with either quarterback.

BONUS REASON:Scheme, the thing the 49ers hate talking about.

The Seahawks' offensive scheme perfectly fits Wilson's skill set. Their offensive coordinator, Darrell Bevell, has done a fabulous job orchestrating packages of plays for Wilson read option runs, play action passes, quick passes, screen passes, rollout passes and deep passes.

The 49ers' offensive scheme does not fit Kaepernick's talents, it fits Alex Smith's talents choose the best possible play before the snap, manage the game and don't turn the ball over. The Kaepernick Offense was supposed to revolve around the Pistol and read option, but the 49ers pretty much scrapped all that back in Week 3 because Frank Gore couldn't run out of it. The Niners went back to their 2011 base offense instead of creating something new for Kaepernick.

Maybe scheme is the reason Wilson has become so much better than Kaepernick. Kaepernick is not just any quarterback. He's Harbaugh's personal project, the selected one, and Harbaugh doesn't appear to know how to coach him. If Kaepernick played for the Seahawks and Wilson played for the 49ers, maybe Kaepernick would be the better player right now.

Grant Cohn writes sports columns and the "Inside the 49ers" blog for the Press Democrat's website.

If not for a defensive collapse against Atlanta in the divisional round last year the Super Bowl start may have gone to Wilson instead.

Only with time will their final story be written, and for 49ers fans we have to hope that Kaepernick reaches what many believe to be his potential.

In defense of CK7

Wisconsin ran a classic Coast offense while Wilson (and Tolzien) were there. Hence the good progression reads and pocket smoothness. As we know Kaepernick came from something entirely different in Nevada.

He also played most of this season without Crabs and Delaney many of the sub WRs blew assignments, running with their backs to him during blitzes.

Possible reasons to fret about CK7

A good point about age. Lots of people forget Kaepernick is 26 in his third year (for perspective, Alex Smith is 29) . CK7 is young but certainly no He has three years in the system. He shouldn be having problems with pre/post snap reads.

Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner has sold his controlling interest in the National Football League's (NFL) Cleveland Browns to a Tennessee travel centre.

The terms of the deal remain undisclosed but reports are speculating the franchise, which the new owners have promised will not be relocated, has been sold for over $1billion ( was approached by Pilot Flying J chief executive Jimmy Haslam several weeks ago and said the proposal made sense.

"While as a fiduciary I have always felt it was my responsibility to listen to offers, I had not been approached with a proposal that felt as natural and complete as Mr Haslam's," Lerner, who took control of the Browns in 2002, said in a statement.

"He had done a lot of work on the Browns and the city of Cleveland and first and foremost gave me his personal assurance the team would remain in Cleveland.

"I feel a deep debt of gratitude to the loyal and passionate (Browns) fan base, as well as the people I've met and worked with over the years.

Privilege"It has been a privilege to be involved with the Cleveland Browns and my only hope is that the Haslam family has the best of luck and that the Browns are restored to their rightful place among NFL champions."

The deal still has to be approved by NFL owners before it can be formally completed and that process is likely to be completed in October.

Haslam, who will need to divest the minority stake he holds in the Pittsburgh Steelers, expressed a desire to rejuvenate the Browns and connect with a Cleveland fan base that lost an NFL Bears Kyle Fuller Jersey team to Baltimore in 1996 and were without a team until 1999.

"To own such a storied franchise as the Cleveland Browns, with its rich tradition and history, is a dream come true," the 58 year old said in a statement.

Oh, and did I mention Dan Aykroyd? The actor and booze marketer, an old friend of Mr. Wilson's, suddenly appeared in his office on that September day, scuttling my lunch interview and setting off an eight week marathon of e mails and apologies.

"This is a typical day of madness," the 53 year old Mr. Wilson said apologetically, as I gulped down the fish stew prepared by the chef at his investment company, Prairie Merchant Corp.

Welcome to the hectic, friend filled, celebrity packed life of Brett Wilson, international man of non mystery the personable tycoon who plays "good cop" on

Dragon's Den, the show where millionaire panelists mercilessly grill starry eyed startups and dispense money or mockery.

All this self inflicted mayhem has made Mr. Wilson's modishly unshaven visage one of the most recognizable faces in Canadian business. He has built household name cachet on wealth (which he won't divulge) gained from his investments and his founding stake in Calgary financial boutique FirstEnergy Capital Corp.

Mr. Wilson sees his celebrity status as a transitory tool that, for the moment, draws attention to his causes, celebrates entrepreneurship, and brings interesting deals across the transom. "Dragon's Den gives me a platform that bearsauthenticofficial.com/Ego_Ferguson_Jersey_Bears I don't want to waste," he said. "If the brand works and people like it, we will keep on playing."

Indeed, the brand often veers toward super saturation. As Mr. Wilson was evading lunch with me, he was keeping other dates on covers of magazines, in an ad for clothier Harry Rosen, and in a contest offering "lunch with Brett Wilson." On the business side, Mr. Wilson was busy too. Having left FirstEnergy two years ago, he is returning to the financial services sector in partnership with Bruce Chernoff, a Calgary investor who is as media shy as Mr. Wilson is spotlight grabbing. The two old friends are collaborating in Canoe Financial, which aims to be a significant player in the investment funds industry.

"It's not Wilson versus O'Leary," Mr. Wilson insisted, referring to tough guy Dragon Kevin O'Leary, another publicity craving financier who has emerged as investment fund front man. "This is Wilson versus the other 50 fund managers in the country, and Kevin is one of them."

At the moment, Canoe, where he recently became chairman, has about $1.5 billion under administration, and aims to grow to $5 billion to $10 billion over the next five years. "We wouldn't define our program as a success unless we are in that range," Mr. Wilson says.

Canoe is hiring people, including veteran money manager Bob Haber, who spent 25 years at Fidelity Investments Canada and will run Canoe's EnerVest fund focused on Canadian equities.

Mr. Wilson says Mr. Chernoff lured him to Canoe not just for his pretty face, but for his track record in building financial services companies, and his reputation as an investor.

In his philanthropy, Mr. Wilson supports a number of core causes, including Outward Bound and Canada's troops. Hence, his attendance, along with 1,700 others, at the True Patriot Love dinner Wednesday in Toronto. The fare was heavier than at Prairie Merchant beef Wellington and well cooked veggies but it was all to raise money for families of military personnel.

Outside his few favoured causes, Mr. Wilson is rarely a long term benefactor. "I refer to myself sometimes as being a serial philanthropist." He spends time on a cause, raises awareness and cash, and then, as it gains suitable prominence, moves on to another worthy target.

But another of his continuing preoccupations is prostate cancer. He had an epiphany nine years ago when, in his early 40s, he was diagnosed with the disease. Being a cancer survivor forced an evaluation of his life.

He withdrew from FirstEnergy, and devoted more time to personal investments and philanthropy. He has, for example, already booked a venue that holds 5,000 people for his 55th birthday, which will be a fundraiser for the prostate cause. He spends more time with friends, and his three children he divorced from their mother in 1999.

The cancer was a rare setback in the charmed life of this car salesman's son from North Battleford, Sask., who studied engineering at University of Saskatchewan. In student government, he made friends with a commerce student from Regina named Murray Edwards.

In Mr. Wilson's life, good friends make good business. The two men reunited in Calgary, where they were cofounders of FirstEnergy. Today, Mr. Edwards, as major shareholder in Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. and other prominent companies, is the most influential Calgary tycoon, and Mr. Wilson one of the most public philanthropists.

As with many old friendships, there have been rocky moments, but the two men remain partners in some private energy ventures. At Christmas, there will be a combined party involving their companies.

As he stepped away from FirstEnergy, Mr. Wilson poured his efforts into Prairie Merchant, his personal investment arm specializing in real estate and energy. One small but highly strategic subset contains 31

Dragon's Den investments, representing a value of about $4 million.

As a philanthropist, Mr. Wilson is scornful of efforts by billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to get the world's mega rich to give away half their money. His concern is what the billionaires will do with the other half. Anything left over from charity generally goes to children, thus reinforcing a sense of entitlement. "If you want to kill your children, give them all the half billion or billion dollars that's left,' he says.

He is setting up his own children to embark on life, but not to inherit great wealth. "I'm rich my children are not."

And who knows who will pop in? Mr. Aykroyd, who was in Calgary to show appreciation for local retailers who sell his wine, is typical of the circles Mr. Wilson moves in. They first met on a white water rafting expedition organized by Robert Kennedy Jr. Mr. Wilson took along his son, who got a chance to mingle with the families of other guests, including tennis legend John McEnroe andIndeed, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Aykroyd share a common quest to push their personal brands into new markets.

Mr. Wilson admits he doesn't return e mails as quickly as people would like, but that doesn't seem to matter any more. "My priorities now are my children, my health, and my friends."
