Viral Video: Man Tries To Pet Lion Cubs. Here's What Happened Next

Viral Video: Man Tries To Pet Lion Cubs. Here's What Happened Next

The video has garnered more than 274,000 likes and over three million views.

Exotic animals, like lions and tigers, belong in their natural habitats and not in the hands of private individuals as pets. By their very nature, these animals are wild and potentially dangerous, and as such do not adjust well to a captive environment. No matter how tempting it is to cuddle or pet such wild animals, it is never a good idea to even get close to them. Now, a chilling video reminding this same fact is going viral on the internet. 

The clip, shared by a user named @basit_ayan_2748, showed an interaction between a man and two lion cubs. In the video, while the lion babies were seen sitting on a car's trunk, a man standing nearby was seen calmly petting the two with his bare hands. However, seconds later, it was one of the cubs' aggressive reaction that was terrifying enough for the man to take a step back. 

Watch the video below: 

In the clip, while the man was petting the lion babies, one of the cubs charged at him to attack. Fortunately, the attempt of the wild cat failed. However, moments later, the man again went ahead to catch hold of the lion, while it climbed the car roof. 

The clip was shared late last month, and since it has garnered more than 274,000 likes and over three million views. In the comment section, internet users emphasised the dangers of such acts and also asserted that exotic animals are not toys to be played with.

North Korea Says It Tested New Strategic Cruise Missile

North Korea test-fired a new generation of strategic cruise missile on Wednesday. (Representational) Seoul: North Korea fired several cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea on Wednesday, Seoul's military said, the latest in a series of tension-raising moves by the nuclear-armed state. Hours later, North Korea appeared to confirm the firing, saying it had carried out its first test of a new generation of strategic cruise missiles it is developing, the Pulhwasal-3-31. Pyongyang has accelerated weapons testing in the new year, including tests of what it called an "underwater nuclear weapon system" and a solid-fuelled hypersonic ballistic missile. "Our military detected several cruise missiles launched by North Korea towards the Yellow Sea at around 7:00 am today," the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. Unlike their ballistic counterparts, the testing of cruise missiles is not banned under current UN sanctions against Pyongyang. Cruise...

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
