Lioness Hunts Cow Near Tourists During Safari at Gujarat's Gir National Park

During a safari at Gujarat's Gir National Park, tourists witnessed a rare live hunt where a lioness chased and subdued a cow near their vehicle. A viral 56-second video captures the lioness using the jeep as cover before the attack. While many viewers praised the raw display of wildlife, some questioned the scene's authenticity, suggesting the cow might have been released deliberately or doubting how a cow entered the protected forest area. Experts note such close hunting encounters are uncommon.
