RAJKOT: Rain fury has brought lions out in the open when a pack of three adult lions were seen venturing around human habitation in a village near Amreli state highway on Saturday night.
While wild cats are often spotted moving freely around the villages located in and around the Amreli forests, a video of lions preying on a donkey in Morzar village in Dhari taluka has caught fresh attention after it went viral on social media.
It’s believed that the video had been shot by a passer-by or some local on Saturday night.
Located 25km off Amreli town towards Dhari, Morzar village falls on the state highway is not a typical jungle village and therefore, the ferocity of the three fully grown lions killing the donkey that was resting in the bus stop of state transport, managed to leave the residents shocked.
The video shot from inside a car shows how the lions coordinated their kill. While one attacked the donkey, two others kept moving on both sides of the road to keep vigil on humans. After sometime the wild cats disappeared with their prey.
There are more than 100 lions in Amreli district, which has now been defined as the greater Gir area.
