A viral video shows zoo lions and their unimpressed reaction to an escaped lion drill.

A zoo in Japan recently conducted a drill to train its staff on what to do in the scenario a lion escapes from its enclosure. Since they couldn't get a real lion for the drill for obvious reasons, the Tobe Zoo in Ehime got a person to dress up in a lion costume - with unintentionally hilarious results.

A video of the drill in progress, shot by a local news station according to Metro, has gone massively viral online. The footage, which shows a man in an adorable lion costume running around the zoo, has collected over 4.3 million views since being shared online on Saturday. But perhaps the most amusing reaction came from the zoo's actual resident lions, who were caught on camera silently judging the whole thing.

Since being shared online, the video has gone massively viral online, making thousands laugh. It has been 'liked' over 82,000 times on Twitter, and netizens can't stop making memes and jokes on it.
