A group of lions found the hidden camera in their enclosure at the zoo and responded in the cutest, most hilarious way.

Animals are special and unique beings that are part of God’s creation. They were put on Earth by the same God who formed and breathed life into man and put the sun, moon and stars in place. As such, animals deserve a certain level of kindness, care and respect.

However, not all animals are created equally and will not respond to human interaction in the same way. Some enjoy humans, desperately seeking and wanting attention from you and me. Cats and dogs immediately come to mind as lovable and loyal pets. However, there are some that would react a little more violently if they were to come across an uninvited human guest. It’s best to stay away from these types, of course. 

Anyway, zoos give humans a way to get a better look at animals that they would never want to encounter in the wild. A clip posted on YouTube shows how some large, wild and typically ferocious creatures reacted after they spotted a camera in their zoo enclosure.

The hilarious clip starts with a massive paw coming across the screen as a lion literally turns the camera, making it point directly at itself. From that point, the video is a quick and hilarious montage of the kings of the jungle examining the camera, licking the lens and even picking it up to examine it even closer.

However, near the end of the clip, one lion apparently had enough camera time and turned it over onto the ground.

The clip gives a unique and very up-close look at an animal you should always maintain a healthy distance from, preferably from behind a strong barrier. I think Dorothy, Toto and the gang had it right when they said, “Lions, tigers and bears, oh my!”

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”
