We've all seen those adorable videos of the first time a fluffy dog sees snow. But it's not typical that we get a version of this featuring a... lion. These big cats in England were pretty perturbed to find their watering hole frozen over.

The on-screen text tells us, "London Zoo's lions confront a frozen lake for the very first time." They approach the lake expecting to grab a quick drink and instead find themselves pawing at frozen water, a new experience certainly.

You'll definitely want to watch this to the end as the lions discover what ice is really about. Lots of commenters got into their heads, "'Bro, you seeing this?" speculated @maximus. "I could have sworn there was a river here last night," added @cin_m02. @Sarrah nailed it with, "He's like 'stay off that crunchy water!'" They learned to keep away!

Others remarked on how different this climate could be from the lands of their ancestors, "First in their blood line to see this," @Cheese guessed. While it's true lions generally live in warm places, some have certainly ventured into the mountains and likely even seen snow historically.

Viewer @kitanaxoxov pointed out what we were all thinking, "So innocent. They are just cats." When they jump away from the water, it looks like they could be giant kitties.

About the Lions at the London Zoo

The Land of the Lions at the London Zoo is home to four beasties currently, two parents and two cubs who are now nearing their second birthday. (Their sister, Shanti, moved zoos as part of a breeding program.) Three cubs marks a big deal for Asiatic lions who number at only about 600 outside of captivity and hail from in Gir Forest in Gujarat, India.

The Londoners are a key part of the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP) and will hopefully support their wild counterparts by raising awareness and increasing genetic diversity.

These guys do the important work of keeping their species going and of discovering ice for lionkind.
