Amidst debates of man-animal conflict, a video filmed in Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujarat of a lioness and her cubs making way for a biker will make your day. The viral video shared on Twitter by Rajya Sabha MP Parimal Nathwani has surprised the Twitterati while reigniting the man-animal conflict debate.
The video shows a lioness walking on a mud road with her two cubs walking behind her. After a few minutes into the video, a man on a bike approaching from the opposite side stops at the sight of them. The lioness and the cubs then calmly make way for the biker to pass and heads towards the vegetation bordering the road.
This #viralvideo shows a #Lioness & two cubs moving away to give way to a biker on the way to his farm near a village on the outskirts of #Gir sanctuary. It is amazing to see them respecting humans' space. @ParveenKaswan @SanctuaryAsia @WWFINDIA @susantananda3 @NatGeoIndia pic.twitter.com/9yPM7Vvldc

Watched too many videos of #Gir lions. Never seen them attacking humans, even if humans are getting real close to them with their motor bikes. Surreal behavior of Asiatic Lions.

And one more thing to add: that rumbling clunking motorcycle he is riding intimidated the mother. With him On foot, I think the lioness with cubs would treat him a little differently.

By nature, human race are meant to be respected my tame and wild animals. Humans, in exchange, must equally respect the animals too.
