Exciting encounter at night

It can be clearly seen in the video that as soon as the person steps out of the factory gate, a lion is seen standing in front of him. Frightened by this sudden encounter, he runs inside, while the lion also seems to be scared and goes towards the nearby forest.

Lions Spotted Roaming For Days

Factory owner Sagar Kotecha said that lions have been seen in this area for the past few days. He said that since this area is near the forest, it is common to see lions here late at night or early in the morning. But, it is unusual to see a lion right next to the gate at that time of the night. The man got scared and ran, and the lion also turned away immediately.

Hasn't harmed anyone yet

Sagar Kotecha also said that lions often pass by the factory gate, but they have never harmed anyone. Even though this is a common thing here, when a lion comes in front of you, it is natural to feel scared.

Discussion on social media

This short but shocking video is forcing people to think about how much the distance between forests and human settlements has reduced. Especially in the forest areas of Gujarat, it has become common for humans and wildlife to come face-to-face.
