Video of lion preying on animal in Ugalvan of Jesar in Bhavnagar goes viral

According to a Sandesh report, a video of a lion preying on a live animal from the Jesar area of Bhavnagar district has gone viral on social media. Primary estimates and discussions suggest that this viral video is from Ugalvan village of Jesar taluka. Under the cover of night, a lion directly entered the village and attacked and preyed upon a tethered or stray animal, visuals of which were captured on camera.

After this video came to light, severe fear and a sense of insecurity have spread among cattle rearers and farmers in Ugalvan and surrounding rural areas. People are worried about the protection of themselves and their cattle because dangerous wild animals like lions come directly into populated areas at night, when people are in deep slumber, and kill animals.

Previously too, wild animals have hunted cattle on many occasions, but this viral live video has further strengthened fear in the minds of people. After the video went viral on social media, the local forest department team has sprung into action to determine which village the video belongs to and when it was recorded.
