Feeding animals by hand at a safari park can seem like a great bonding experience for families attempting to connect with nature. However, nature is kind of a jerk sometimes.

A recent run-in with what appears to be a spiral-horned antelope gave one family a new perspective on wild beasts. In the clip, the animal approaches the vehicle. The driver of the car attempts to feed it by hand, but the antelope has a better idea, and decides that eating off the man's lap is a much better option.

A large animal chomping away at your groin is enough to make any man scream, and in this case dad's yelling leads to children crying. It seems as if the antelope spilled the food, and its only takeaway was a cardboard box.

Delicious!
