The Lion That Plays Football

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA: Football fever grips South Africa ahead of this summer’s world cup as this huge lion gets to grip with the beautiful game. Casting an image that will inspire England’s own lions the majestic cat plays with his favourite football at his enclosure in Johannesburg Zoo. Footy mad Triton, an 11-year-old male who was born at the zoo, likes soccer so much he refuses to play ball with any of the seven females he shares his enclosure with.
