The mother and her babies were seen going back into the forest grassland making way for the biker.
A video of a lioness and her cubs being ‘very civil’ and making way for a man on his bike in Gujarat is going viral on social media.
In a clip that was reportedly recorded in the Gir national park in Gujarat, the lioness and cubs are seen strolling on a path that is lined with high grass. When a farmer approaches them he stops, but animals move aside making way for the motorcycle to pass.
Sharing the viral clip on Twitter, Rajya Sabha MP Parimal Nathwani wrote, “It is amazing to see them respecting humans’ space.” The MP said that the farmer was returning to his farm on the outskirts of the sanctuary, which is home to the largest population of Asiatic lions.

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.

In Gujrat, People and Lions coexist.
Lions wonder into Human areas, and they don’t mind each other’s presence

As our recent explainer on the relocation of cheetahs in India pointed out, the last wild population of the Asiatic lion survives in Gujarat’s Gir where the cat is only a natural calamity or an epidemic away from meeting same fate as the cheetah, which went extinct in India. The plan to secure the lions in a second home has been hanging fire since 1993.
