Lioness 'steals' camera, films self with selfie stick; watch

Lions are apex predators and are called the 'King' in the wild. These majestic animals are known for their impressive strength, powerful physique and regal demeanour. However, despite these dynamics, they are as funny and playful as cats, but, larger in size.  Recently, a video has surfaced on the internet that shows an extremely playful activity of a huge lioness that will leave you surprised and tickle your funny bones.

In the video, the lioness is seen standing close to a camera. Suddenly, it bites the selfie stick with the mounted camera and starts running. It takes a pause midway and starts running again, but, this time it was faster. After a while, it stops and rests the selfie stick on the ground. A few moments later, it picks up the stick and starts running again. However, this time, the camera captures the lioness.

After running for a distance, the big cat drops the stick as the owner of the camera arrives in a vehicle.
