“I See Why They Are the King”: Video of Lion ‘Barking’ Goes Viral

• In a viral video on TikTiok, a lion was not roaring but instead barking at a car on a dirt road
• The king of the jungle made a few of the dog-like sounds before backing away from the vehicle
• People in the clip's comment section shared their surprise at the noise the lion was making

An upset lion was recorded not roaring but 'barking' at a car on the road.

In a video posted by the TikTok account Latest Sightings (@latestsightings), the king of the jungle (or possibly, in this case, the safari) gets up close to a white car. At first, the lion makes a hissing sound. Then, instead of the drawn-out roar people are used to hearing, the lion makes a few barking noises at the vehicle.
