It's not too often you see a lion around these parts but it was for a fun cause.

Mufasa traveled with his trainer to Minnesota to take part in an Easter church service in Burnsville according to KSTP.  Things fell through due to some permit issues but he did end up staying in the backyard of an Eden Prairie home for five days.

Check out the story from KSTP Channel 5.
