Amusing video from the Newsflare archive from the US of cute baby sitting at a zoo smiling while behind a lion scratches at the glass to get at him.

In the clip, which was filmed at Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City in July 2017, nine-month old Levi sits grinning at his parents when suddenly a lion walks into view and starts clawing at the glass behind him.

Levi just sits there, completely oblivious to the lion trying to attack him through the glass.

"Baby Levi is a favourite of the lions each time we visit," his mum wrote online.

"He's also a favourite of his three-year-old brother, whose name is, ironically, Leo."

While our 9 month old baby son, Levi, waited his turn for the lions at Hogle Zoo to walk past us, we didnt expect the show to be on the baby! As soon as the lion saw him, he wanted to play. . . or prey. And the funniest part of all, is that our baby was oblivious to it all happening, due to the shrieks of laughter from the onlookers. Baby Levi is a favorite of the lions each time we visit, he's also a favorite of his 3 year old brother. . . who's name is ironically, Leo.
