A prankster has stirred up controversy after putting a lion, snake and crocodile into his sleeping friends’ beds and filming their horrified reactions.
In one viewed over one million times Russian man Khizri Zapirov, who lives in Moscow, is seen sneaking into a bedroom with a young crocodile in his hands.
He places the reptile in the bed where two men are sleeping and then shouts out loud to wake them up.

The joker places a huge Burmese python beside a sleeping friend before recording his horrified reaction as he wakes up to see the yellow snake stretched out beside him
When one of the men sees the croc crawling across his bed sheets he leaps out of bed screaming while the prankster and his friends can be heard laughing off camera.
Another shows him doing a similar thing with a huge Burmese python and recording his horrified flatmate’s reaction as he wakes up to see the yellow snake stretched out beside him.
In his most recent video, the joker dumps an almost fully grown lion onto his pals’ bed and his friend dives out the bed and hides behind Mr Zapirov in the corner of the room.

Panic! The unsuspecting friend wakes up in a state of shock to see the huge predator in his bed

Now animal rights groups have complained to the police and demanded he be punished for animal cruelty.
The man explained he borrowed the animals from a friend who trains them and that he was present during every video to ensure the safety of the animals.
The police have yet to comment.
