Lion opens car door

Did you know lions could open car doors? My sisters were visiting our parents while serving a mission in South Africa and had an experience of a lifetime. The internet was abuzz when the story of a lion opening a car door made headlines earlier this year. Animal lovers around the world were amazed to witness a seemingly intelligent act by a wild lion.

The incident took place in South Africa’s Kruger National Park, where a large pride of lions was roaming the grounds. A group of tourists had been driving slowly through the park when they noticed something quite out of the ordinary. One of the lions had curiously approached their car and pulled its paw down on the handle of the driver's side door. To their surprise, the door had opened!

The lion had been able to do this because the car had been in "child lock" mode, which meant that it could be opened without a key. The car's locks also allowed for easy access to the door by detaching a small piece of metal from the inside.
