Video of man playing with lion cub goes viral

Rajkot: A video of an unidentified man playing with a lion cub has gone viral on social media.
It is learnt that the video was shot somewhere outside the Gir wildlife sanctuary. The squeaking cub tries to climb up the man’s legs. “The person, who is seen playing with the cub, has worn blue jeans. It is illegal to capture a lion cub. Only the forest department has the right to capture lions and other animals,” said a source.
Senior forest officials said it was difficult to trace the location as no surroundings are seen in the video.
