A group of tourists ended up in a bizarre game of tug of war – with a pride of lions. The incident unfolded after their 4x4 became stuck in sand, with the occupants and a ranger using a tow rope to help haul it out.
But before they could wind the rope back in, a playful pride of lions jumped on it – and began hauling the car back. In an attempt to get them to let go, the driver slowly – so as not to harm the lion – crept forward, but the lions dug in deep.
After an intense stand-off, the lions gave up taking on the almighty 4x4 when a brave tracker reached out to wind the rope back in.
