The title ''king of the jungle'' is given to the lion for its raw power and strength but a video that is going viral on the internet may force you to change your mind. The clip shows a pair of lions moving away from a path when they see two rhinos approaching. The unusual scene has left the netizens amused.
The clip was shared on the microblogging site Twitter by a user @TheFigen with the caption "Then the rhino is the king of the forest!."
The 30-second clip opens to show two lions casually resting alongside a narrow forest pathway. All of a sudden the lions are approached by two rhinos. And what happens next is not usually what you would see. The lions immediately get up and start walking away in an entirely different direction, without confronting the rhinos.
Since being shared on Twitter, the video has amassed 793.6k views, 9,254 likes and several comments.
"Those dudes definite can’t take on a pair of Rhinos for shure," wrote one user on seeing the video.
"King is NOT the strongest. He is a combination of strength and leadership," wrote another user.
"Yep. The Lions are like let’s get the hell out of here," wrote a third user.
"After seeing what one fully grown rhino can do to vehicles, it’s no surprise two lions wouldn’t take on two mature rhinos," wrote a fourth.
