Watch: Lioness tries to be a good host and opens family car door

accreditation
A 2014 video has been getting the viral treatment these last 2 days.

According to Huffington Post, a family was watching a pride of lions at some safari in South Africa.

While filming and ooh-ing and aah-ing as you do when you’re a tourist doing African things, a curious lioness walked purposefully towards their vehicle and opened the back door of their car with her mouth.

In the video, you can see the one family member shut the door and made sure to lock it this time around. You can hear one of the passengers say, "Oh my gosh, I didn't know they could do that."

Well I bet no one expected that. Moral of the story, lock your door. Especially when you’re within 2 metres of a pride of lionesses

This is not the first time lions have tried to open doors and invite tourist on their turf. Roughly 6 years ago, in another safari in Johannesburg, a lion supposedly opened a passenger door and chased the car after it rightfully sped off.
