A captivating video from Gujarat has gone viral, showing two majestic lions casually strolling down a muddy road inside the Gir Forest. It shows a biker and two other youths witnessing the sight and running to safeguard themselves, only to learn later the lions were harmless.
The sight of the two wild animals walking on the jungle road and approaching the biker resulted in some amount of fear. The humans tried to flee away from the spot and enter the bushes to avoid getting attacked by the lions. However, the two appeared to be on a jolly walk together instead of an hunting session.

The undated footage opened with the lions walking side by side on the deserted forest. As they came out of the bushes and appeared on the road, where the biker parked his vehicle, they caused fear and panic.
Here's what the biker did on spotting the lions
Regardless of the animals' calm and casual walk, two youths fled from the spot instantly after spotting the lions entering the road. However, the biker waited for a minute without making much movement. Sooner or later, he too rushed into the bushes after seeing the duo walking in his direction.

The clip was shared by Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda on X. He captioned the clip as "Another day in Gujarat".
"The lion pair is just not interested in human as its prey. Otherwise, it could have easily outpaced the running bikers", Nanda wrote further while uploading the lions' video online.
This incident, caught on camera, reflected on the unpredictable nature of wildlife encounters. The video has gone viral and attracted more than 13,000 views.
