From the Sabi Sand, South Africa.....Tiny Crab Fends Off Pride of Curious Lions in Viral Video

Footage of a small crab appearing to take on a group of large lions circling around it has gone viral online, impressing thousands of viewers. The video shows the remarkable interaction at the MalaMala Private Game Reserve in South Africa. It is estimated that while the crab was only about four inches, each lion stood about three feet tall and weighed about 275 pounds.
