WATCH: Lion skydiving? The viral video that's got everyone talking– is it real?
Social media has seen its fair share of unbelievable moments , but a lion diving out of an aircraft? That's the latest clip causing a stir across platforms. A video showing a lion mid-air during what appears to be a skydive has gone viral, collecting millions of views and sparking a flood of reactions. The bizarre visuals have left the internet deeply divided: Is this a real stunt, or just another ultra-realistic AI creation? The video, shared by Instagram page shows a lion seemingly skydiving with a human. The animal appears calm while free-falling, which is what raised eyebrows almost immediately. With over 2 million likes in under a week, the video has become a talking point across platforms– but not for reasons of admiration alone. Several users were quick to point out that something didn't sit right. From the lion's still mane to the oddly consistent facial expressions, doubts began to surface. Many questioned how such a dangerous feat could be pulled off, and more importantly, why. The video's realistic look has sparked a debate online, with some people sure it's AI-generated, while others are still unsure. One user joked, 'Just one Q - How did you convince him,' while another wrote, 'Now, bro is really bored of ruling forests, he wants to own the sky.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like BenderFX: Trading Robots for Metatrader 4 | Expert Advisors BenderFX Read More Undo Another comment that gained traction said, 'Lion be like:- Niche Jane de fir btata hu.' But humour aside, many expressed concern about the audience's inability to distinguish between real and artificial. 'The number of people who can't identify this as AI-generated is concerning,' wrote one user. Even under the assumption that the video is digitally created, the content sparked a debate on how far creators are willing to go to get attention. 'Ridiculous things humans do to satisfy their souls! NOT COOL and unfair to the poor animal,' said a viewer. Another added, 'At least give him a helmet, maybe he's unable to breathe.' Concerns weren't just limited to the visuals. Some users raised the larger issue of ethics in viral content creation, especially when it involves wild animals, real or not. As of now, there is no confirmation on whether the video is authentic or AI-generated. The Times of India does not take responsibility for the video's authenticity.

CM Sai praises Kashmiri guide Nazakat for saving lives of Chhattisgarh tourists in Pahalgam
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Sunday expressed gratitude to Kashmiri tourist guide Nazakat Ahmad Shah who saved a group of tourists from Chhattisgarh during the Pahalgam terror attack, and pointed out that the Muslim community is getting a bad name because of some people. "All Muslims aren't bad and the community is becoming infamous due to some people," Sai said in an exclusive interview to PTI. #Pahalgam Terrorist Attack India much better equipped to target cross-border terror since Balakot India conducts maiden flight-trials of stratospheric airship platform Pakistan shuts ports for Indian ships after New Delhi bans imports from Islamabad Asked what India should do to retaliate against Pakistan for sponsoring the April 22 attack in the Kashmir vale, Sai said he thinks that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government will take strong action. He did not elaborate but said the Central government is in control of the situation. 5 5 Next Stay Playback speed 1x Normal Back 0.25x 0.5x 1x Normal 1.5x 2x 5 5 / Skip Ads by by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like BenderFX: Trading Robots for Metatrader 4 | Expert Advisors BenderFX Read More Undo "I strongly condemn the attack by terrorists in Pahalgam. They killed innocent and unarmed people who had gone for holidaying with their families after questioning their religion, which is a cowardly act. The nation has lost 26 people. Chhattisgarh has also lost its son," the chief minister said. "It was the audacity of Pakistan despite it having been given a befitting reply in the past through surgical strike . But it has once again showed audacity. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been taking strong action. I believe another strong action is going to take place in response to the terror attack," he said. Live Events Asked to elaborate on the possible strong action, Sai said, "The central leadership will decide the nature of action. The suspension of the Indus Water Treaty and the revocation of visas of Pakistani nationals, all these are strong actions." Queried about a Kashmiri youth who saved Chhattisgarh tourists during the terror attack, he said, "See, it can't be said that all Muslims are bad as there are many good people. But due to some people, the community is infamous. I would like to thank Nazakat for saving people from Chhattisgarh." Shah (30) was hosting a group of 11 -- four couples and three children, who hail from Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur district in Chhattisgarh, during their Kashmir trip. When the terror attack took place on April 22, they were in Baisaran valley during the final phase of their visit. Shah picked up two children in his arms and ran from the site, leading all others also to escape. Tourists include the families of local BJP's youth wing leader Arvind S Agrawal, Kuldip Sthapak, Shivansh Jain and Happy Wadhavan. Though Shah works as a tourist guide in Kashmir, he said he sells shawls for three months during the winter season in Chirmiri town in Chhattisgarh and, therefore, knew these tourists, who reside there, for the past several years. Dinesh Mirania, a resident of Raipur, was among 26 people shot by terrorists in Pahalgam on April 22.
