— -- So is this what the University of Michigan football team does in the off-season?

The Wolverines' quarterback John O'Korn shared a video of the team reenacting the famous "Circle of Life" scene from "The Lion King" on Twitter. And the results are beyond hilarious!

He captioned the video, "It's the circle of life... #summer16."

The silly video has many on the Internet laughing, with more than 1,800 people retweeting it and more than 3,000 liking it.

In the video, the team turns its training room into the iconic rock where Rafiki -- played by offensive lineman Kyle Kalis -- lifts up baby Simba, introducing him to the animal kingdom.

While student athletic trainer Adam Olszewski stepped into the role of Simba, the team's offensive linemen -- Mason Cole, Nolan Ulizio and Jon Runyan Jr. -- played their part as excited animals.

You have to see it to believe it. #BoysWillBeBoys
