A few months ago, a video of a man’s daring act was posted on YouTube.

He sneaks up behind the lion and frightens the mighty beast while he is drinking water on the shore of the lake.

The video, which appeared on YouTube two months ago, has already become a real hit – at the moment it has more than 159 million views there, and many animal lovers admire the scene.

Dean Schneider is the founder of a Swiss animal shelter and social media activist in South Africa. There he takes care of the lions, and over the years a sincere friendship and protection has been established between them.

Watch the unusual scene in which we see the moment when Dean scares his lion friend by drinking water. Do you dare to scare the lion yourself?
