We’ve seen small children interact with lions before, but the little fella in this video takes things to new heights.

Relizing his feline counterpart is enclosed behind glass (which luckily is better constructed than this), the kid all-out laughs at the lion and then bangs on the glass in one final act of dominance. He’s having a great time, but the lion’s plaintive look – directly at the camera – seems to say the that king of the jungle is not.
