Lion stops traffic at Kruger National Park

Lions, and tigers and bears, oh my! OK, actually just a lion ... and the road wasn't made out of yellow bricks, either.

This scary scene happened in South Africa's Kruger National Park, which is more than 7,500 square miles in size and full of wildlife.

Normally, seeing a lion at this park wouldn't be that jarring, but seeing it on the street amongst the cars and causing a traffic jam? That's a little different.

The YouTube description explains the videographer was driving through to look at hippos when everyone saw the lion, and he of course decided to record it. It is the 21st century, after all.

And with wildlife comes, well, wild antics. There have been other frightening stories from this park, like the moment when an elephant flipped a car earlier this year.

In the lion's case, he stopped traffic in both lanes for at least 30 minutes. Some reports say it was up to an hour.
