WATCH: Majestic lion tumbles down a waterfall

Have you ever tripped in public and hoped no one saw you? Well unfortunately for this lion, his wipe out is being shared with the world!

A few weeks ago near Vosburg, South Africa, photographer Clare James captured rare footage of a male lion crossing a swollen river. Except he didn’t quite cross it, but tripped and fell in instead.

Unfortunately for the lion, James got it all on camera and will not let him live it down. According to Newsflare, she later wrote online, “It was a lucky moment to be filming whilst he was crossing a river. A moment I will never forget.”
