A cattle herder in Gujarat's Bhavnagar district survived a terrifying lioness attack after remaining calm while pinned to the ground for nearly 30 minutes. A viral video shows the injured man gently petting the lioness as it stood over him, though officials have not confirmed that this caused the animal to let him go. Villagers tried to drive the lioness away by shouting and throwing stones, but it eventually walked off on its own. The man was rushed to a hospital with injuries. Forest officials are investigating the incident and have urged caution in lion habitats.
