THERE are a lot of annoying reasons for being stuck in in a traffic jam.

But no-one was complaining when these lions and their adorable cubs blocked the road while they were playing in South Africa.
The cubs had been sleeping on the sun-warmed tarmac overnight, and seemed unwilling to leave it in the morning.
Anton and Michelle Campbell-Harris were the first people on the scene at the Krugar National Park.

Anton, 47, who runs a real estate company, said: "We were the only car there at the time and as it was early in the morning they were just waking up.
"We watched as the cubs became more playful - it was difficult to know what to focus on as there was so much activity going on.
"Eventually cars started arriving from the opposite side and the expected traffic jam began."
The couple from Somerset West, Western Cape, in South Africa were celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary with a trip to the park.
And they were treated to an adorable display as the playful cubs frolicked oblivious to the traffic building up.
Anton said: "It is difficult to describe the feeling of being with wild animals so close, you feel so privileged and it does wonders for your soul."
