THIS is the hilarious moment a lion jumps out of his skin - after seeing his own reflection.
Lion scared of own reflection
After attempting to jump up at a window - the lion notices his reflection and quickly flees from the glass after seeing himself in the window.
The hilarious footage of the Charleston Male lion was captured at the Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, by a ranger at their Earth Lodge in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa.
Just like any cat, a reflection in a mirror or window in this case would cause that reaction
The ranger managed to position her vehicle from the other side of a waterhole that was between a lodge and her vehicle, and was able to film the whole thing.
Rod Wyndham, managing director at the reserve said: "The four guests and their guide were absolutely thrilled to be able to witness these lions in their natural habitat and it's exciting for a ranger to be able to capture this.
"Just like any cat, a reflection in a mirror or window in this case would cause that reaction.
"This particular reaction though caught the one lion off-guard as it was at shoulder height, which caused him to react.

"Every single Sabi Sabi safari is exciting and no matter what one sees in the bush, being able to experience any animal in their natural surroundings always has a “wow factor” effect."
The lion had jumped up at one of the windows of a suite at the lodge, but no one was inside at the time.
