Hayley Myburgh, a well known Nature Guide in Kruger, filmed this incredible interaction and shared it with Latest Sightings.
"A call came in: mating lions on the road, and it wasn’t far from our location, just on the H4-2. We arrived, and everything seemed tranquil. Little did we know, there would be nothing ordinary about this sighting."
“The lioness was beautiful, with a serene presence. However, the growls and moans from the male quickly grabbed my attention. He wasn't hard to identify and true to his nature, it was 'Mr. Grumpy,' one of the S21 males, notorious for his short temper."
“The female moved closer to a white car on the road, with Mr. Grumpy predictably following her every step. It was amazing to see them mating right there, but that was all overshadowed by what happened next…”
"The S21 male's attention shifted to the white car, and after a furious roar, he charged right at the unsuspecting vehicle! My heart was pounding, I saw the person’s face widen with terror and with good reason... Thank goodness their windows were up."
Mr. Grumpy went at the car twice, growling and lunging toward it. You can really get a sense of just how big these cats are when you see how small the lion makes the car look.
The lion eventually calmed, and the car moved off shortly after to give the couple some privacy. This was an incredible encounter that left everyone speechless.

Dude can’t even have some privacy with his girl. What a jerk

The Lion is like "What were you looking at, WEIRDO? Get the hell out of here!"
-
It’s a damn shame these people feel it’s okay to invade their space in the wilderness.
-
No one likes their privacy to be breached.
-
People have no idea and are completely dumb and clueless as to how fast and powerful lions are.
-
What's wrong with these people? They were too dang close.
-
Did that lion just 'hiss'? I don't think I've ever seen a lion do that, I thought they just roar
-
How f’n close to you have to get to them? Smh
-
You can actually see the driver of the car jump when he hiccups 🤣
-
Do we have to get so bloody close that we are actually affecting their behaviors 🤦🏼♂️
-
Lion: Stop peeping you weirdo!
-
Why do people think they have to be that close? Give animals some room.
-
Is it technically possible for the car try to position even closer to the lion? Jesus.
-
Lion : Don't leak my performance video on the internet. Please.
-
Driver of that car, is now smelling the odor of him pooping himself after big boy told him off !
-
"Frickin' big weird monkeys!" ~ lion
-
Why is that white car so close to the lions? Isn't that against the rules?
-
And that's another reason why you should give wildlife space, distance & always leave your windows rolled up!!
