England Lions took time out ahead of their one-day series with South Africa A to visit Bagamoya Wildlife Reserve outside Bloemfontein yesterday.
In the ecb.co.uk video above, paceman Jack Brooks, wicketkeeper Sam Billings and batsman Jason Roy are all seen entering the Lions enclosure.
Billings can be heard asking Brooks if he is “nervous” while Roy gets a “little nibble” off one of the animals.
