PORTLAND, Ore. – Fearsome lions recently showed their playful – and photogenic – side at the Oregon Zoo, where keepers placed a hidden camera in their habitat.
In a video shared on Wednesday, a lioness appears to discover the camera on a bed of hay.
She then proceeds to paw and chew on the device, as it continued to film the curious kitty.

The camera got close-up shots of sharp teeth, spindly whiskers and even a few paw beans.
And there were a few ultra-close shots of what the inside of a lion’s mouth looks like as the she tried to eat the camera.

She, along with the other lions, are part of the Serengeti exhibit at Oregon Zoo, according to officials.
