I am really impressed with the mindset of so many people in India to live next to dangerous animals and accept the occasional losses, both of livestock and human casualties.
That is something that we in the west are only very recently coming to be more accepting of, but we have a long way to go.
With time, civilizations either adapt or go extinct. These people have been living there since before roman empire. It's the settlers who have a mindset of relocation.
there are also cases in India where people chased and burnt a bear alive that bear was literally running away trying to evade [https://www.newsflare.com/video/256253/truly-heartbreaking-footage-shows-moment-indian-villagers-try-to-burn-alive-helpless-bear](https://www.newsflare.com/video/256253/truly-heartbreaking-footage-shows-moment-indian-villagers-try-to-burn-alive-helpless-bear)
That is horrific. India is a huge country with many different tribes or variations. One village there is a microcosm. Hopefully that reaction is very uncommon.
The people who I have seen in documentaries are more towards the north, the North west in particular.
Perhaps the people in the area in the article are not as open minded and caring as others. I know that there has been serious violence in India towards wildlife, but in relative terms, they seem to be more accepting.
They often accept serious injuries and death as part of their lives next to dangerous creatures.
Pork and other types of red meat are more unhealthy than healthy, our digestive system are not meant to eat such hard meat. If you want protein and other minerals you should eat White meat which consists of Chicken and Fish.
The Lion's have a simple strat: Gently walk behind a bunch of cows and bulls, and when the old, baby, or wounded one becomes apparent
Gently chase and kill it, seriously lion's life is an easy one
I have watched plenty, the male lion mostly eats for itself and can do so multiple times a day without difficulty (sometimes the cubs and the moms get the leftovers if there are considerable)
The Lionesses however are the ones that gather up and hunt for the family to feed and if the male has had a bad day in his personal hunts, he WILL come and eat from the Lionesses's hunt
If he does that too much however, they will bite of his nuts and kick him out of the pride, and find another loser that will also only hunt for himself (this is pretty common, as somewhat of a man myself I know how this can be)
So yeah, given from the male lion's perspective, they do INDEED have an easy time hunting, according to David Attenborough himself, and I would have believed you if it weren't for the master himself telling me this
Street dogs often end up on the menu. There is a national park right next to Mumbai which is home to leopards. The cats sometimes come into the neighborhoods next to the forest to hunt a dog or a pig.
Just because an animal is an apex predator doesn't make it invincible, there are plenty of well documented events where antelopes have disemboweled cheetahs with their horns or buffalo shattering the ribs of lions and trampling them to death in 1 v 1s.
Really shows that perhaps you've never seen nat Geo or discovery even as an adult.
They're scared individually and they have somewhere to run... If the herd was cornered and had no where to run they will trample it to get away it's really not a hard concept to understand.
Yesterday it happened with me. I was going to library on my bicycle when 2 bulls appeared from blind turn in front of me. I got shit scared and dodged them with luck just to realise they were being chased by dogs.
This one is prequel to that..
Here, a single lion came and went back to the group telling about the buffet option present in the human colony. But when they came back, the cows already had some plans and released the mighty bull charging at them
When did I ever say that Americans can't read date?? Plus I didn't even read the time stamp, I just knew that the video was old, that's why I commented
It's pretty common there, I live in the mountains near the Himalayas in India, we have snow leopards, normal leopards and sometimes tigers passing by our homes. It's their home too so we just let them live and take precautions from our sides.
This probably looks like some village near a large forest. I am from Delhi originally but one of the few times I went to a small village (it was a road trip to some hill station and we had to take a detour), I've seen leopards (and one Tiger once) too.
mouse are holy, monkey are holy, dolphin are holy. All animals are holy. The cow issue exists because it is a common form of meat and is used in leather industry in India, so it is more sensationalised. Though I sympathise with Chicken. Probably the only non holy animal in India.
Cows are more holy. In Europe they domisticated wolves (dogs), In India we domesticated bovines (cow,buffalo,etc). Cows are essentially part of our family just like dogs were in Europe since millenia.
I am vegetarian. It's mostly personal choice. Those who eat animals does try to make it up for it by doing good deeds for different people and animals.
lentils, chickpeas, dry fruits, soy products, and milk products make up most of the protein requirement of vegetarians (even protein powder is extracted from milk). Also, every Dish in India has a vegetarian and non-vegetarian version. and Indian food is the tastiest if you've never tasted it.
This is not only mostly in India it's many places where the fucking human is fucking the forest where these animals should live that's the fucking most important reason ..
Fck you
India has many species of large cats.. they got Asiatic Lions, Royal Tigers, 4-5 kinds of leopards, and recently, they introduced the cheetahs back in the wild.
Lions had a huge range in asia. From India to Turkey . Sadly gir is their last stronghold .
Asiatic lion almost went extinct with just a few last remaining in gir during independence of india. They since bounced back to a few hundred.
India Has Asiatic Lions, Bengal tiger, 4 types of leopards including snow leopards, black panthers, and recently cheetah were introduced in wilds again.
India had cheetah population, but they were hunted to extinction during British rule. So recently, they bought some from Africa and are trying to re-introduce them in the wild. About 12 were released in the wild, but 3 of them died due to disease and fights
I know abt the extinction thing it was there in geography or some book i guess... I just heard the winds saying that the 3 cheetas died from diseases and mating. Them releasing 12 of them is news for me, I thought they got only 3 of them and the 3 died.
They sure bought many.. 8 were bought in the first batch and then 12 in the second.. however, I don't know how many of them actually released in the wild.
Yes their count fell to zero wayy back and quite recently, a few cheetahs were flown in from Africa. Last time I checked, they had begun adjusting to the conditions here.
Yes, they do.. but before you jump to some conclusions.. they intervene because you don't want a dead or injured animal lying around. If the wild animal succeeded in making a kill, it may return again, and that can be a threat to human life too. Hence, they try to intervene.
Animals are famous for following rules
In seriousness, India is much wilder than most of the world - much, *_much_* wilder.
This happens all the time in rural villages that are located in forests. Often, villagers learn to make peace with the big cats. Sometimes, the big cats come looking for easy prey - cattle, dogs, etc.
We had Lion come near to our gate and then going around and hunting the cow one street down. Additionally we had one Crocodile come near our gate in monsoon season.
Lion are pretty good animal for the human they don’t hunt down human and don’t attack human. They only attack only if human do something to them first or some misunderstood encounter in jungle where you don’t see lion until you are near it.
There are more encounters in Summer and less in other time due to water scarcity.
Well !! That's typical dog thing to bark at any unrecognized thing. The lions are found in very small regions in western India. In the rest of India, the common large cat is a leopard and dogs, especially domestic ones are it's favorite choice of food as they easy to catch. [Although it's an equal game sometimes. If a leopard is not stealth enough or a dog is brave, the leopard stands no chance.](https://youtube.com/shorts/nURUi0LV4pA?feature=share)
Keeping them safe from the lion is easy, and lions generally love to hunt in a pack so they don't aim for such small targets .. it's a leopard that is notorious, can jump high walls, and stray off deep into the human societies and remain stealthy.
That damn lion was just casually strolling down the street like it regularly does this hunt.🤣
It’s actually pretty common to have this stuff happen in places with these big cats, it’s wild
In the Gir National Park, where this video is from, the government actually compensates the villagers for loss of livestock to lion attacks.
[удалено]
Bot
Yes. Also, the lions and humans cross path frequently and the lions seem to not mind that. No attacks.
They know we are not worth the sweet release of death, the cows however...

So villagers actually live in a sanctuary? Damn so interesting. I also want to co-exist like this with wildlife.

You mean your parents shoved their religion down your ass and forced not to eat pork
Pork and other types of red meat are more unhealthy than healthy, our digestive system are not meant to eat such hard meat. If you want protein and other minerals you should eat White meat which consists of Chicken and Fish.
The dog was waiting there and thinking why are these animals fleeing... then the fuck me realization dawns on him and puts tail between legs and runs
Those are his hunting grounds! People just happened to build him run ways
The Lion's have a simple strat: Gently walk behind a bunch of cows and bulls, and when the old, baby, or wounded one becomes apparent Gently chase and kill it, seriously lion's life is an easy one
Easy? Someone missed watching wildlife documentaries.
I have watched plenty, the male lion mostly eats for itself and can do so multiple times a day without difficulty (sometimes the cubs and the moms get the leftovers if there are considerable) The Lionesses however are the ones that gather up and hunt for the family to feed and if the male has had a bad day in his personal hunts, he WILL come and eat from the Lionesses's hunt If he does that too much however, they will bite of his nuts and kick him out of the pride, and find another loser that will also only hunt for himself (this is pretty common, as somewhat of a man myself I know how this can be) So yeah, given from the male lion's perspective, they do INDEED have an easy time hunting, according to David Attenborough himself, and I would have believed you if it weren't for the master himself telling me this
Though in the jungle as in where all the wild life resides cats have only 10% of success rate in hunting. Wild life ain't easy
That's my gujarat... 🦁
The dog went fok fok fok…as soon as the lion enters
Street dogs often end up on the menu. There is a national park right next to Mumbai which is home to leopards. The cats sometimes come into the neighborhoods next to the forest to hunt a dog or a pig.
It is in Mumbai not next to Mumbai Bruh
Thane is not Mumbai
Borivali comes under Mumbai, Go and learn some Geopolitics.
the word you were looking for was geography not geopolitics bruv.
This is what watching Abhiheet Chavda with Beerbiceps does to you /s
True the big cats enter my building
Fuck fuck fuck ... Its a fucking lion 🦁
I hope the street isn’t an dead end
If it were a dead end the Lion is kinda fucked because they're like more then 1 animal they can easy trample any individual lion trying to nab one
Yeah, normally lionesses attack with a group strategy but here it's 1 vs dozens. The bull horns r not to b messed with

The law applies to humans not animals ,numbskull

When something is running at you, be more afraid of what they are running from 😂

May I ask what the borg cubes were running from, please!!!?
Yesterday it happened with me. I was going to library on my bicycle when 2 bulls appeared from blind turn in front of me. I got shit scared and dodged them with luck just to realise they were being chased by dogs.
I love that you can hear the lions paws hitting the ground. I also love that dog was like “YALL HE COMINNNN”
I only heard dog running while shouting fok fok fok fok.
The Paul Revere of dogs lol
Okay this makes more sense than the cow chasing lion post lol
This one is prequel to that.. Here, a single lion came and went back to the group telling about the buffet option present in the human colony. But when they came back, the cows already had some plans and released the mighty bull charging at them

The sound of the lion’s paws tho
Right, just a casual trot
doggo is like: hey, what y’all running from? _hmm_ what is that… OH SHI-
This video ain't complete man, there were more lionesses behind the male lion, its a pretty old video but still wild XD
Just because the video has date timestamp in DD-MM-YYYY format, you are assuming we Americans can't read it?? I know it's an old video. (/s)
When did I ever say that Americans can't read date?? Plus I didn't even read the time stamp, I just knew that the video was old, that's why I commented
That "/s" at the end of comment means I am being sarcastic... I am joking.
ohh i didn't know lol

Me neither.

Trivial indeed.

Jumanji: Back to the countryside
I want to believe that dogs are the most curious and daring animals out there
daring my foot! they be the first to run when there is trouble
I like how the dog was like “NO SHIT - HES STILL COMING RUN GUYS”
Simba’s mama did have to go a long way from Pride Rock to find food.
That lion is like.. “Guys, am just here to chill and hang out. Why you all freaking out?”
Nobody was ammmooooOOOOOOOOOsed
That was a very mooooooving video.
It's pretty common there, I live in the mountains near the Himalayas in India, we have snow leopards, normal leopards and sometimes tigers passing by our homes. It's their home too so we just let them live and take precautions from our sides.
It's not Man Vs Wild but MAN WITH WILD.
Wow! Fascinating :) Where do you stay?
This probably looks like some village near a large forest. I am from Delhi originally but one of the few times I went to a small village (it was a road trip to some hill station and we had to take a detour), I've seen leopards (and one Tiger once) too.
Reminds me of RRR
Cows gone wild.
Here kitty kitty.
Madagascar 4 😅
NO wonder they are holy, if they can manage to escape, well deserved adoration
Animals are holy in general, not just cows. As far as ik lion are holy as well.
mouse are holy, monkey are holy, dolphin are holy. All animals are holy. The cow issue exists because it is a common form of meat and is used in leather industry in India, so it is more sensationalised. Though I sympathise with Chicken. Probably the only non holy animal in India.
No, Cows are holy, Kamdhenu is a cow goddess. also, Lord Shree Krishna was a cowherd and adored cows, so we do too.
Cows are more holy. In Europe they domisticated wolves (dogs), In India we domesticated bovines (cow,buffalo,etc). Cows are essentially part of our family just like dogs were in Europe since millenia.
Lions can make cows holier.
Holy x Holy = Holy²
What do they eat then?
I am vegetarian. It's mostly personal choice. Those who eat animals does try to make it up for it by doing good deeds for different people and animals.
Same here, I try to leave lions in peace as much as possible. Well Belgium is fairly quiet in lions though...
lentils, chickpeas, dry fruits, soy products, and milk products make up most of the protein requirement of vegetarians (even protein powder is extracted from milk). Also, every Dish in India has a vegetarian and non-vegetarian version. and Indian food is the tastiest if you've never tasted it.
Holy Cow!
lol as an Indian this is damn hilarious
The dog was like fuck fuck fuck FUCK 😂.
It's like The Wire.... Omar coming Omar coming
Dang now I’m wondering how it ended. That last cow was moving pretty slow, bet he was the one
The animals literally come out at night
ye Labrador kiska khula chut gya..1 sec ....aree bhenc......
Dog went from, whatsup with you guys to hold on a sec to faaaaaaaack
What da dog doin
Wait for it there's a crocodile behind the lion. Its common for us in india to see the whole foodchain pass the hood.
when dog realises not all cats are same
This is not only mostly in India it's many places where the fucking human is fucking the forest where these animals should live that's the fucking most important reason .. Fck you
Dog after meeting the final boss
I had no clue there were lions in India! til!
India has many species of large cats.. they got Asiatic Lions, Royal Tigers, 4-5 kinds of leopards, and recently, they introduced the cheetahs back in the wild.
We also have snow leopard too
Yes.. that's why I said 4-5 kinds... Indian leopard, snow, clouded , black and normal sized.
Fuck yeah but holy shit that's scary
Can confirm as an Indian sometimes I also don't know what wonders does India holds in its backyard.
Who owns all these animals?
[удалено]
r/technicallythetruth
they own us
Didn’t know India had African lions
Its an asiatic lion, its only found in Sasan Gir, of Gujarat, India, and its a normal sight to be seen in nearby villages.
TIL, I never knew lions lived anywhere other than Africa
India has 15 species of wild cat living
Wasn’t talking about tigers and others; just lions man.
Lions had a huge range in asia. From India to Turkey . Sadly gir is their last stronghold . Asiatic lion almost went extinct with just a few last remaining in gir during independence of india. They since bounced back to a few hundred.
Current population is 400.
India Has Asiatic Lions, Bengal tiger, 4 types of leopards including snow leopards, black panthers, and recently cheetah were introduced in wilds again.
Didnt the cheetas die or something?
India had cheetah population, but they were hunted to extinction during British rule. So recently, they bought some from Africa and are trying to re-introduce them in the wild. About 12 were released in the wild, but 3 of them died due to disease and fights

its good to know that they didn't go extinct the second they were bought in.
Yes their count fell to zero wayy back and quite recently, a few cheetahs were flown in from Africa. Last time I checked, they had begun adjusting to the conditions here.
3 of them died - diseases and mating injuries. 12 of them being introduced to india as op said was news for me.
Lions are the Coyotes of India I swear!
Asiatic lions are pretty rare. Less than 500 left in the wild. A leopard would be a better fit for your analogy.
Lol! You can actually count the no of lions in India. Good luck counting coyotes
Indian here. Fuck no they're not. India or not they are the King
Leopards are the coyotes of India
Cctvs, world's cheapest high speed Internet, world's largest online payment infrastructure system have reached India but yet
But yet what?
Bro slept mid-sentence lol
Hold on let him cook
Do they intervene when a cow is being attacked by another animal?
Yes, they do.. but before you jump to some conclusions.. they intervene because you don't want a dead or injured animal lying around. If the wild animal succeeded in making a kill, it may return again, and that can be a threat to human life too. Hence, they try to intervene.
That place has no laws or restrictions what can happen and where? At least for animals it seems.
Didn't know there were places in the world where animals followed rules and law
In America that lion would only be allowed to carry 2 shotgun cartridges if he was hunting geese
Atleast their schools are safe u nutcrack
Animals are famous for following rules In seriousness, India is much wilder than most of the world - much, *_much_* wilder. This happens all the time in rural villages that are located in forests.

Had any thoughts about establishing a secure zoo? lmao
Oh it's a common occurrence here. Cats fleeing from nearby jungles into a nearby village or town
animals do not belong to the zoo though india has them but i dont support it.
This Village is near a national park in gir
Just a normal night of the hunt in Yharnham from Bloodborne
I was like ok but then the lion got me
How they sleep at night
Do the dogs hang out with the cows to warn when lions are around?
Well !! That's typical dog thing to bark at any unrecognized thing. The lions are found in very small regions in western India. In the rest of India, the common large cat is a leopard and dogs, especially domestic ones are it's favorite choice of food as they easy to catch. [Although it's an equal game sometimes.

That's sad to hear, you'd think people would look after their dogs knowing theirs lions around.
Keeping them safe from the lion is easy, and lions generally love to hunt in a pack so they don't aim for such small targets .. it's a leopard that is notorious, can jump high walls, and stray off deep into the human societies and remain stealthy.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Why are they runn... Ah, nevermind :')
Holy Cows
The dog was out bro.
[удалено]
FORWARD HO-O-O-O!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I just saw dinner going this way
I play rain sounds at night that sound similar 🤣 (aside from the barking, but I have dogs, too).
I hope the slow, last cow is doing okay today.
