Unique Lion Therapy Caught on Tape

Let's face it, being a lion is hard — to be king of the jungle takes a lot of work. It's a 24/7 task, if you will.

Sometimes you have to recharge, let go of the stress, and just be pampered a little bit.

The lion in this video shows us just how it's done.

 A resident of the Jugomaro Predator Park in South Africa, this big cat named Taariq lies back and lets his owner and pal, Justin, give his feet a little rub.

 Taariq is not alone. There are lots of other videos online showing lions enjoying foot massages, proving that no matter how fierce their roar, behind every big beast is a kitten ready to purr.
