Gujarat: Video of lionesses crossing river goes viral

RAJKOT: An old proverb says cats (read lions) and water don't mix, but if they would have seen this video, the wise men’s words would have surely met its waterloo!
For, the agility shown by three lioness while swimming almost 200 metres across the Shetrunji River near Rawal Dam in Gir East, would stun many into disbelief that even the royal feline can get more than its feet wet. A video of this incident has gone viral on the social media.

Anshuman Sharma, deputy conservator of forest, Gir East, who shared the video on WhatsApp and social media, said: “It is a myth that the lions can’t swim. This video clearly breaks this myth and shows how the lions love to swim. This video was shot by beat guard R S Sarla.”


“The lionesses apparently crossed the river to prey on deer,” added Sharma.
