Filmed at the Cornellskop Animal Training Farm in Bot River, Western Cape, South Africa, this little playful lion cub gives an unsuspecting dog quite the fright! The pup seems to see the lion cub coming around the corner…but nope…the dog almost jumps out of its skin when it finds the cub right next to him!
In case you’re wondering, the Cornellskop Animal Training Farm is a fully licensed farm which trains animals for work in films and television commercials. The farm is run by a team with more than two decades of professional animal wrangling experience. All animals on the farm are loved and cared for and completely socialized to one another and play together often, so while this pup may have gotten surprised, these pups and lion cubs are playmates! The Cornellskop Animal Training Farm works very closely with conservation authorities, as well as welfare associations, to care for rescued and unwanted animals.
