This lion cub attempting to roar is heartmelting
A little lion cub has been caught on camera practising its roar - and its resulting squeak is the cutest thing you'll see all year.
The cub is seen walking out of some tall grass before it starts its training.
And, while its roar is tiny and totally adorable, it still appears to give the little fella a fright before he tries again.

The footage was uploaded to YouTube, where it has been viewed over three and a half million times, although no information was given about the lion's location.
A number of users reacted to the video, with some making reference to the Lion King writing: "Hakuna Matata", and, "Mufasa would be so disappointed."
Another wrote: "He's so cute! Hope he gets to be cute in the wild though, and not kept as a pet..."
It's not the only super-cute lion cub footage we've spotted in the last couple of months.
Back in August, four adorable white lion cubs were filmed looking seriously sleepy after taking their first shaky steps at a park in the Crimean city of Sevastopol.
