King of the tumble: Moment lion takes an embarrassing tumble

This is the moment the king of the jungle became the king of the tumble. The big cat took a hilarious fall at the Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya after getting his front paw stuck in a hole, and after doing a somersault he came to an unceremonious halt in a pile of mud. The usually sure-footed animal had been prowling around waiting to pounce on a young antelope when he took a mighty misstep. When the lion finally regained his composure his mane and tail was dripping with mud. And he looked none too pleased.
