Lion peeks in driver's window, but it's not long before he's dangerously curious

It's not every day that a lion has the chance to get up close and personal with a car. In this YouTube video captured by The Lion Whisperer, viewers see just what happens when a curious lion and a car full of people cross paths. At first, the lion just takes a quick peek in the window, but then curiosity takes over.
In the background we hear Kevin Richardson, dubbed The Lion Whisperer, try to coax the animal away from the vehicle as he says, "Come here boy. Come on." The lion all but ignores Richardson as he paws at the side mirror like a plaything. Finally, Richardson asks the driver to back away.

However, that's not the end of the story. Before we know it, two lioness' join in on the fun as the pack chases the car! Occasionally, viewers can hear Richardson chuckle at the ridiculousness of it as he playfully scolds the animals for "being naughty." That's certainly not a sight you see everyday!  
Richardson's ease with animals is not by happenstance. He is a trained animal behaviorist that has dedicated his career to working with native animals of Africa. He has been named The Lion Whisperer because of his uncanny ability to understand and interact with one of the most magnificent animals on the planet. Richardson currently cares for 50 lions in a special facility called Kingdom of the White Lion. The establishment was actually built for a movie set, but there are plants to open it up to the public. Richardson is also the recipient of the The BrandLaureate International Personality Award.
Lions are amazing creatures and it's definitely impressive that Richardson understands them. Check out the video to see the curious lion for yourself.
