A hungry lion has been filmed by shocked tourists getting its head trapped inside the bum of a dead hippopotamus.

The animal was filmed by YouTube channel Mel and Dave's Adventures as they begin to realise and express shock over what they are witness.

The lion initially looked to be enjoying its meal but it was greed that appeared to bring it undone.

"On my god," a girl says as the film begins.

A man says: "His head is stuck."

Children's voice echo "ewww", "yuck", "ewww" =, "disgusting!"

But the lion decides to head back in for another feed.

Its head appears to get lodged as it wriggles around.

Another lion watches the scene as the lion continues to wriggle with its head stuck.

The lion finally gets its head free but doesn't appear to be carrying any food.
