The viral video was captured at Taigan Safari park in Ukraine.
A group of tourists were in the buggy when a lion decided to jump in the front with the driver.
Thankfully he was friendly and leaned on him in affection.
The tour guide can be heard saying: “Oh, what a tongue he has!”
The tourists seem nonplussed and film the interaction with the lion, who it is later revealed is named Filya.
She then perched on the front seat, leading the tour guide to say “oh my god” while being sat on by the animal.
He got out of the car due to the sheer weight of the animal on top of him.
The lion then puts its hand on the wheel and tried to turn the vehicle while it was stationary.
Filya then grew bored and jumped into the back with the tourists who continued to film and pet the animal
As the lion jumps up, she nuzzled the young travellers and even licked one on the face.
The video ended with them all cuddling the docile animal who sat down on top of them all.
The park is known for being able to get close to the animals, with owner Oleg Zubkov, 50, renowned for his skills with the animal.
In the video, he told anyone who felt uncomfortable they could get out, of the buggy.
None of them took him up on his offer in a bid to stay close to the animal.
However earlier this year, a woman was bitten by a different lion at the same park.
While she survived after being rushed to the hospital, she said that it “bit through my right arm and used it to drag me like a puppet,” according to the Daily Mail.
In a different viral video, another tourist received a friendly lick from an animal.
This time a giraffe decided to give one man a very long lick when leaning over a fence.
