Lion Cubs Hug Trainer On His Last Day At Park

In this heartwarming video, baby lions climb, hug and lick a park worker on his last day on the job.

It's not certain if the man in the video is a volunteer or an official worker at the lion park, but one thing is for sure -- these animals don't want to let him go. Their squeals alone are enough to make you shed a tear.

Animals are very good at sensing emotions in humans. I once had
a cat that could sense my moods. She would know if I was depressed,
tired, happy, etc and approach me accordingly.

I love how the one couldn't get him from the front so he went around to hug him from behind

I sent it to my most cat-loving friend. She just adopted a new one; she volunteers at a cat rescue and he stepped out of his cage right onto her shoulder.
