Lion Cubs Hug Trainer On His Last Day At Park [View all]

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.
