Man and lion startle each other as they come face-to-face.
There have been several incidents of human-animal encounters that have been reported in recent times, with many of them proving to be fatal for the people involved. The video, which has now gone viral on the internet, was shared by Susanta Nanda, a retired IFS officer, where a man was seen casually walking out of the factory’s premises. The video captured an unexpected encounter between a man and a lion at a cement factory in Gujarat, sparking widespread laughter online. The video shows the man casually walking out of the factory’s premises as a lion approaches from another direction. Their view of each other was blocked by what appeared to be a guard’s room. Just as they both turn the corner, they come face-to-face and panic, running away from each other. Nanda on X wrote, “Worker of the cement factory at Junagarh & a free roaming lion accidentally meet each other. Both panic. You have just witnessed the rare reverse chase.”

One user wrote, “Think he never got cautious despite dogs giving those warnings and alarm calls. A lesson for life, probably. Dogs they give amazing alarm calls in the night and especially for leopards. One ought to keep the guard and vigil around any such abnormal behaviour of these Mongrels and Strays, especially around wilderness.” Another wrote, “That’s because humans are in their zones.” A third user commented, “We give them more reasons to be afraid of us, no wonder she ran away.”
