World Wildlife Day 2022: Hello Lions - All About Hyderabad Zoo

By Akshatha Vinayak

"Everything looks blurry and feels ecstatic as he jumps right into a big pit; only thing he can hear is the deafening cries of people which seems so distant and in front some giant figure is moving towards him. Within no time, someone pulls him back and away from those big things. Only then everything makes sense and understands that he had a small crazy adventure!" Well, such an incident at Hyderabad Zoo shook the hell out of some people who witnessed it. A guy just jumped inside the lion enclosure trying to shake hands with it by disturbing the peace of the visitors as well as the lions.

People didn't know whether to laugh or feel thankful that he got rescued; that guy didn't feel the depth of this adventure because he wasn't fully out of alcohol influence. He is now the talk of nation which is apparently an alarming incident to each one of us.
