SA video of lion cub scaring a dog goes viral


Cape Town – A South African YouTube video of a lion cub sneaking up on a dog is quickly gaining online popularity.

The video, filmed at Cornellskop Animal Training Farm in Bot River, shows the cub approaching a dog that is blissfully unaware of its presence.

When the dog finally spots the lion it gets the fright of its life – all captured on camera of course.

According to Shaun Swingler, who uploaded the video, the farm is "fully licensed to train animals for work in films".

Swingler added: "All animals on the farm are loved and cared for and completely socialised to one another and play together often - as can be seen in the clip."
