Crazy moment playful lion plays ‘tug of war’ with safari truck’s rope

Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “Crazy moment playful lion plays ‘tug of war’ with safari truck’s rope” – below is their description.

This is the crazy moment a tour guide played tug of war with a playful lion.

Tour guide Jabulani Salinda, 49, was leading a group through Baobab Ridge Game Lodge, South Africa , on November 18.

He was tipped off by a colleague that there were lions nearby so he moved his truck around.

But he got the jeep stuck in the ground and had to be towed free using the rope.

The male lion grabs onto the tow rope before Mr Salinda can pull it back in.

It tugs persistently at the end while guests on the truck laugh in the background.

At one stage the stubborn lion even tries wrapping the rope around a tree to win the battle.

As the truck begins to move, the lion staggers slightly as it refuses to let go even though it is being pulled forward.
