This lion cub's attempt to ferociously roar is beyond adorable
Lions are synonymous with their impressive roars, but one video capturing a charming cub's attempt to make its presence known reminds us that these majestic creatures are not born kings. No one can really expect a baby lion to let loose with a fear-inducing roar, but this tiny creature can barely eek out a squeak — and when he finally does, it's quite possibly the cutest sound ever. The video has racked up millions of views since being uploaded a few days ago, but it doesn't say where the cub lives and when it was filmed. Until that mystery is solved, just watch the video on a constant loop to get your cuteness fix. Catherine Garcia
