A lion stopped traffic in South Africa.

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK, South Africa (KGO) -- Seeing a lion in South Africa's Kruger National Park isn't unusual, but one walking in the middle of the street in traffic is.

A young male lion was recorded on video strolling over a bridge. He stopped traffic in both lanes for at least 30 minutes.

The bridge is a popular place to spot hippos, so guests got an added bonus.
