Rude rhino ruins lascivious lions' lovemaking

Sept. 6 (UPI) -- A pair of amorous lions attempting to mate in South Africa were interrupted by a nosy rhino that distracted them from the dirty deed.

A video recorded by an observer from the safety of a vehicle shows the male lion being allowed to mount his intended lioness, but their tryst proves short-lived when a curious white rhinoceros arrives on the scene.

The lions break apart and flee when the rhino charges them.

The rhino eventually loses interest and wanders off, allowing the lions to reclaim their spot and resume their mating session.
