As dozens of parks and zoos worldwide close down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the closure of the Kruger National Park in northeastern South Africa saw a pack of lions take advantage of the safari closures to get in a sneaky “cat nap” in the middle of a road.

The national park’s official Twitter account shared a group of photos depicting the massive African cats snoozing on the warm asphalt of the road, accompanied by a cheeky caption poking fun at the charming occurrence.
