Lion's Snore Sounds More Dangerous Than a Roar! Watch as King of the Jungle Enjoys Siesta - Video

New Delhi (Sputnik): While several people are facing sleep deprivation or suffering insomnia due to the coronavirus scare and lockdown, the sight of a fully-grown lion enjoying a snooze is taking Twitter users by storm.

A rare sight of a lion with its glorious mane was caught on camera as it snoozed, but not so peacefully. The ferocious animal had an equally boisterous sleep, roaring and groaning as if it were in the middle of a dream. The video has made its way on social media and is going viral on Twitter. 

When the king snores,
It’s louder than the roar...

Lions sleep for 18-20 hrs in the wild. Females take care of cubs and have to manage with around 12 hrs.
