Lions are enjoying the South Africa lockdown so much they're taking naps in the middle of the road


Pictures from a national park in South Africa show a pride of lions appearing to nap in the middle of a road as much of the world has come to a halt over the coronavirus pandemic. South Africa has been on lockdown since March 25. Kruger National Park, one of the largest game reserves in Africa, has been tweeting photos and videos of animals roaming the park without the intrusion of tourists. One set of photos showed lions lounging on a vacant stretch of road.
"Kruger visitors that tourists do not normally seen," the park tweeted earlier this week. "This lion pride are usually resident on Kempiana Contractual Park, an area Kruger tourists do not see. This afternoon they were lying on the tar road just outside of Orpen Rest Camp."



Ike Phaahla, a spokesperson for the park, told CBS News on Friday that while the overall behavior of animals hasn't changed, he said, lions are taking advantage of the fact that there are fewer humans around.
