Now that very few, if not zero, cars can be found on roads across the world (because we’re stuck at home), animals now seem to be taking advantage of the outside world without us humans. In South Africa, for example, a pride of lions were found chilling on the road.
The images show a pride of lions lounging on a road, seemingly unperturbed by the presence of the photographer, park ranger Richard Sowry.
"This lion pride are usually resident on Kempiana Contractual Park, an area Kruger tourists do not see," tweeted Kruger Wednesday. "This afternoon they were lying on the tar road just outside of Orpen Rest Camp."
"Lying on the road during the daytime is unusual because under normal circumstances there would be traffic and that pushes them into the bush," park spokesman Isaac Phaahla told CNN.
Whoa.
