Briefly News previously reported on a story of a man with a lion lying on top of him that had South Africans thinking he was testing God. The man had a massive lion on his lap, which seemed like his pet.

In the video, the man seems pretty relaxed as the lion lies on him as if it's natural for a lion to be on a man's lap. The lion relaxingly licks its lips and the man laughs while brushing it.
