This is the moment a giant male lion was spotted strolling down the streets of South Africa's biggest city in the middle of the night.
The big cat was seen prowling around a residential area in Johannesburg and at one point clambered up to rest its front legs on the back of a car.
But residents were later reassured that the lion, called Columbus, was not on the loose - and had been brought in by a production crew for filming.
According to the Johannesburg Roads Agency, the filming had not been cleared and the film company had not gained permission to close several roads.
Irvaan Dolley, from Ibiza, Spain, who witnessed the lion walk past, said: 'It was a strange sight to see the lion strolling throught the city like that and my first thought was to run.
'But it swiftly turned out that the situation was under control and we weren't in any danger, despite the lion being so close by.
