Photos : Lion shows up behind a little girl at the Zoo

 The sweet bond girl was standing in front of the lions' enclosure and waiting for her parent to take a picture when one of the animals decided to photo-bomb her.

A brief video of the incident captured in what appears to be a French zoo shows the girl turning around after being alerted by an adult, only to discover the curious female cat staring directly at her.

The girl lets out a startled shriek before skipping away, with the feline still looking at her from behind the glass with intent.

The rosy-cheeked child, who appears to be eight years old, was not harmed in any way and walked away from the wild encounter with a smile on her face. 

The lion, on the other hand, looked vaguely disappointed.
