Very few things in this world are 100 percent pure. Even the cutest things from a distance are actually pretty messed up upon closer inspection. Take, for example, basically any Disney fairytale that pairs romance with a healthy dose of evil family members and downright scary origin stories.
But fear not, perpetual optimists; all hope is not lost. That's because I think I just discovered the only video to exist online of something so purely innocent and wonderful, it straight up destroyed my heartstrings.
I present to you: a lion cub practicing his roar. Except, due to his tiny stature, there is no roar to be heard. There is, however, the most awww-inducing series of squeaks I ever did hear.
Couple that with this real life Simba's perpetually bewildered expression and disproportionate head/paw/body size and you've got yourself a recipe for cuteness overload.
I know, I know -- I'm hyping this up hardcore, but I guarantee you'll get where I'm coming from once you watch it. And by "watch it," I really mean "watch it on repeat until your internet gives out and your computer dies." Because I'll admit I've been watching this 15-second clip for 10 minutes straight now and it just doesn't get old.
