The safari is an exciting place. No matter how old we are, there's a certain level of excitement on getting to see animals at the safari park. But, what would you do if a lion jumps into your vehicle?


In a viral video, that was captured at the Taigan Safari Park in Ukraine, a lion can be seen hopping onto a vehicle full of tourists. Just when you'd expect things to go wrong, the lion leaned on the tourists with affection, and started licking them.


The lion, now identified as Filya, was excited on seeing people, and decided to play with them. The animal jumped on the front seat, put its paws on the wheel and even tried to turn the vehicle. The tourists remained calm, and filmed the entire interaction.

 

The tourists can be seen laughing and petting the animal. Some of the tourists started to cuddle the lion, who sat on top of the tourists. The safari park is popular for allowing close interaction with animals. The video was filmed just weeks after a woman was bitten by another lion at the same park

 

The friendly lion has won over hearts on social media. Here's how people reacted.
