Pakistan Influencer Shares Affectionate Hug With Lioness, Not Everyone On Internet Is Happy About It

A Pakistani man recently went viral for hugging a massive lioness, challenging the notion that humans should keep a safe distance from these dangerous predators. Except for trained professionals, people try to maintain a safe distance from these creatures during jungle safaris or visits to a zoo.

A popular social media influencer, Mian Saqib loves to spend time with wild animals. In one of his recent posts, Saqib was captured embracing a lioness inside an enclosure. The wild cat was almost double his size but the man had no trouble controlling its antics.

The lioness appeared to be well-trained as it tried to jump on his lap. The man took some moments to settle before sharing a hug with the lioness with tender affection.

The video received mixed reactions from social media buffs. Some found their interaction quite adorable while others called it risky. Impressed by Saqib’s seamless act, a user admitted, “You are nothing short of a god to me.”

Another person said, “Great but managing wild animals is very tough.” One user expressed concern, saying, “Brother, you are making very dangerous videos.” An individual sarcastically said, “Any of your posts can be the last one.”

Earlier, a man was spotted sharing an affectionate hug with a lioness named Sirga. The moment was captured in a desert. The man, who looked like a forest official, dropped the video on Instagram.

The lioness was captured adorably wrapping her paws around the man and its antics never seemed dangerous. “No gym workout needed when this is your daily hug routine,” read the caption. The video accumulated more than 17 lakh views on Instagram.
