Lions are gifted predators, but few would ever suspect that they are also surprisingly good dancers.

The pair pictured above was caught on camera in South Africa's Greater Kruger National Park, and many agree that the two lionesses were acting as if they were doing the tango, Daily Mail reports.

Since there was no eligible bachelor in sight, one can only assume the felines were practicing for a dance they had been invited to.

By the looks of it, the lionesses have the tango routine all figured out, so there is little doubt that, once they finally hit the dance floor, they will turn a few heads. And they won't even need designer gowns to be at the center of attention.

Wildlife researchers say that, although cubs are by far the most playful members of a lion pride, it sometimes happens that adults, especially young ones, decide to blow off some Steam either by chasing each other around, or by staging mock fights.
