Man Serenaded Lions With His Guitar and Their Reaction Is So Beautiful
French musician @plumesofficiel, Loris Assadian, travels the world with his pink guitar, performing popular songs for different animals to highlight their emotional sensitivity and promote animal welfare. So when he posted a TikTok of himself serenading a group of rescued lions, it wasn't unusual for him-but their reaction certainly was.
As the lionesses slowly circled around him, Plumes kept his composure and continued singing a popular unreleased Harry Styles track, often referred to by fans as "Me and You," which appeared to capture the big cats' attention. What happened next was something no one expected, including Plumes himself.
@plumesofficiel I wasn't expecting so many @VANTARA @HSHQ #animal#animals#lion#lions#lioness

Wow! The cats actually started singing along with Plumes. And that big yawn at the end is so relatable; his gorgeous voice relaxes us, too. One commenter shared, "The gathering and giant yawn show just how comfortable and relaxed these beautiful lionesses are."
He also shared in the caption, "I wasn't expecting so many..." It seems that everybody was shocked by the turnout of lions!
