A pack of playful lion cubs caused a mini snarl-up by wrestling in the middle of the road. Husband and wife Anton and Michelle Campbell-Harris filmed the adorable scene in Kruger National Park, South Africa. The big cats had been sleeping on the sun-warmed tarmac overnight and weren’t yet ready make a move. And as traffic in the park built up the pride caused a tailback of excited sightseers.

Videographer / Director: Anton and Michelle Campbell-Harris
