Man's evening walk turns into heart-stopping encounter with lion. Then something surprising happens
A man's leisurely stroll after work quickly turned into a heart-stopping encounter when he came upon a lion, who also seemed to be out for a walk in Gujarat. The surprising end to the sudden encounter was caught on a CCTV camera, stunning social media users. A cement factory worker in Junagadh accidentally met a lion while strolling near a house.(X/@susantananda3) The video, shared by retired Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda, who often shares clips of such human-animal interactions, showed a cement factory worker in Junagadh accidentally meeting the lion while strolling near a house. In the clip, the man can be seen strolling near a house with his hands behind his back as dogs bark in the distance. As he approaches the house, looking around it, a lion appears on the screen, walking towards the building from the other side. With the house in the middle, the two are unable to view each other and continue on their paths. As the man turns the corner, his eyes meet the lion, and a moment of total panic is captured in the video. Stunned by the dangerous predator just a few feet away, the man swiftly darts in the other direction. Shockingly, the lion has the same reaction, hurrying away from the man. "Worker of the cement factory at Junagarh & a free roaming lion accidentally meet each other. Both panic. You have just witnessed the rare reverse chase," the former IFS officer said, claiming the lion reacted in such a way due to the "element of surprise". The video gained nearly half a million views and many were stunned by the predator's reaction. "Think he never got cautious despite dogs giving those warnings and alarm calls. A lesson for life, probably. Dogs give amazing alarm calls at night, especially for leopards. One ought to keep the guard and vigil around any such abnormal behaviour of these Mongrels and Strays, especially around wilderness," said one user. Another joked, "After running 100 meters, the lion realised that I am a lion and why I am running out of fear."

Several incidents of human-animal encounters have been reported in recent times, with many of them proving to be fatal for the people involved. However, a recent video capturing an unexpected encounter between a man and a lion at a cement factory in Gujarat has triggered much laughter across the Internet. The incident occurred in the Junagadh area. Shared by Susanta Nanda, a retired IFS officer, the viral video shows the man casually walking out of the factory's premises. At the same time, a lion happens to be approaching from another direction – their view of each other blocked by what appears to be a guard's room. Just as they both turn the corner, they come face-to-face and panic, running away from each other the same instant. 'Worker of the cement factory at Junagarh & a free roaming lion accidentally meet each other. Both panic. You have just witnessed the rare reverse chase,' Nanda wrote on X.

'That's because humans are in their zones,' another commented. 'We give them more reasons to be afraid of us, no wonder she ran away,' a third user reacted. In another bizarre incident, a woman in Rajasthan tied a Rakhi to a leopard. According to reports, the leopard has been frequently spotted in the area over the past few days and has been showing signs of aggression. Local residents claimed it often wandered into the village and appeared unusually fearless of humans.

Mel Brooks confirmed Spaceballs 2 with a pitch-perfect announcement
Mel Brooks confirmed Spaceballs 2 with a pitch-perfect announcement The Schwartz is strong with comedy legend Mel Brooks as he formally announced on Thursday that the long-anticipated Spaceballs sequel will be flying into theaters in 2027. Brooks, who will turn 99 on June 28, gleefully shared in the hilarious announcement video that, rather than giving the fans what they want, they're making another Spaceballs instead. Of course, he was rocking a "Spaceballs: The Sweatshirt" ... sweatshirt. He will reportedly reprise his role as Yoda spoof Yogurt in the new film, which makes it all even cooler. Bill Pullman (Lone Starr) and Rick Moranis (Dark Helmet) will both reportedly return in the new project, while Josh Gad (a co-writer on the project) and Keke Palmer are reported new additions to the cast. Josh Greenbaum (Strays) is directing. Moranis' return is a particular big deal since he has not acted in a theatrical film since 1996. While we have no idea what's in store for this new Spaceballs film, one can only imagine how much there is for Brooks and company to spoof this time around. May the Schwartz be with us all as we wait for 2027, which we hopes gets here with ludicrous speed.
