Fully Grown Lion Gets Scared Of Harmless Bubble

He may be the king of the jungle, but even a lion can get startled every now and then, even if it is from a popping bubble! One adult white lion could not measure up to the expectations, when a bacon flavored bubble burst in front of his nose.

One the keepers at Paradise Wildlife Park in Broxbourne in Hertfordshire, England recorded the hilarious moment when Moto the white lion nearly jumps out of his fur after being terrified by a popping bubble. There is a bubble machine in a small section of the lion enclosure at the park which blows bacon-flavored bubbles to the big cats in an attempt to entertain them, but would seem that this big guy had no idea what to expect.

Moto is seen sitting on his rear and watching the bubble fall through air after it was blown towards him. The video was filmed by a park ranger, Tony, and released to mark the lion's tenth birthday. When the bubble met its end on the rocky floor, it scared the cat out of his wits, making him jump backwards in shock, apparently confused about where it had gone.

A member of the park’s staff wrote on Facebook: “Here's one of his not so finest moments, getting scared of a little bubble.” The adorable video has been viewed more than 50,000 times and lots of Moto's fans have left nothing but adoring comments.
