Lion is a king of the jungle, but what if a king is ousted from his kingdom. A recent video wherein a lion was released from the circus after the span of 13 years went viral. The video shows the lion expressing his elation by rubbing his feet on the grass making himself familiar with the life beyond bars.

A lion named Will was seen scampering towards the grass and relishing the opportunity to tear up the soil with an ode to happiness countering his previous life.

Here's the video of the circus lion freed from cage feeling the earth beneath his paws for the first time.
