A lion killed a heron in front of a crowd of people at a zoo in Amsterdam, which was caught on video.

The video captures a heron sitting in the water is taken at the Artis Royal Zoo in Amsterdam. Soon one of the lion approaches the bird snatching it from mid-air and other lions quick to join and share in the kill.

YouTube description of the video states, "This Dutch family was visiting the zoo on a quiet Sunday afternoon when things got a bit more exciting than seeing bored animals lying around their enclosures. A lion spots a heron near the water. Following her instincts she sneaks up on it and manages to grab it. The whole family wants in on the prize, but a sneaky cub gets away with it."

Although the video was only uploaded on YouTube today, HyperVocal reports the video was actually taken last year.
