Big male lion takes unexpected tumble down riverbank

The video shows that the King of the jungle is not always perfect, coming short with a glorious fall down a riverbank.
The male lion is known as the King of the jungle all around the world. The image of the mighty male lion is a symbol of power and strength. In the African wild this rings true as the lion is at the top of the food chain and feared by most animals. With this image in mind, it is easy to think that if a big male lion can bring down a giraffe or a buffalo, then getting out of a river onto the bank should be an easy task for the king. The video shows three big male lions crossing through the depths of a river that is in flood. Lions normally do not like swimming, but they will take on rivers like this to get to another part of their territories. Once the three lions managed to get to the other side and out the strong current of the river, it was time for just one last obstacle, getting up the steep riverbank. A task that seemed easier than swimming across the river. As the first male lion peaked his big mane over the edge, he almost got his whole body to the top when the soil under his back paws gave in, sending the big male lion back down to the bottom in spectacular fashion. Looking at the fall in slow-motion, it looks like the king of the jungle literally took a fall from glory.
