Lioness And Her Cubs Move Away From Road As Indian Biker Passes By
In a video that was recently shared by Rajya Sabha MP Parimal Nathwani, a lioness can be seen with her cubs acting in the most civilized manner.
As humans, we teach each other and even animals to follow commands, but it looks like the tables have turned around.
This #viralvideo shows a #Lioness & two cubs moving away to give way to a biker on the way to his farm near a village on the outskirts of #Gir sanctuary. It is amazing to see them respecting humans' space. @ParveenKaswan @SanctuaryAsia @WWFINDIA @susantananda3 @NatGeoIndia pic.twitter.com/9yPM7Vvldc

In the 36 second long video, a lioness can be seen coming out on a road from the inside of a jungle as her 2 small babies followed.
After some time, a farmer can be seen coming from the other direction.
The farmer stops his bike after seeing the lioness, instead of acting defensive, the lioness moves away from the road, giving way for the biker to pass by.

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.

By nature, human race are meant to be respected my tame and wild animals. Humans, in exchange, must equally respect the animals too.
