Even the most majestic of animals can have their clumsy moments. An example of this was a lion that starred in a funny incident in a zoo in Stuttgart, Germany, which still has social networks revolutionized, causing both laughter and criticism.
The video, captured in February 2018, shows a distracted lion walking along the edge of its enclosure at the zoo. With attention divided between the visitors and his surroundings, the lion failed to notice the edge of the moat, slipping clumsily and falling into the water.
“The lion got distracted while walking near the edge and fell into the water,” the video’s author explained. Fortunately, the incident only resulted in an unexpected dip, and after a short swim, the lion was able to return to dry land without major mishaps.
The lion that accompanies the one who suffers the fall, looks at him and makes a small gesture that seems to want to help him up. However, he did not need his help because the lion himself was able to swim without problems.
The video, which resurfaced in popularity in February 2023 on YouTube, has amassed more than 26 million views in just two months, sparking laughter and comments online about the unpredictable nature of even the kings of the jungle.
