Messing with the king of the jungle can be dangerous, but it could turn life-threatening when it’s in its own territory.

In one such video, an inquisitive lion gave a huge shock to holidaymakers after first opening the door of their car.

A family was ecstatic to spot a pack of six fully grow lions while on safari but had a narrow escape when a lioness approached the car and managed to open a door on the passenger side. The old video from South Africa is now grabbing the attention of the people on social media.

The woman survived the horror incident by quickly shutting the door all the while filming the once-in-lifetime scenes on camera.
