A drunk man in India has engaged tourists in an unfamiliar scene of ‘hunger games’ after he jumped into a lion’s cage.
The lonely lion didn’t give up an inch for his new friend, as he stayed up close to the young man who kept on gesticulating, much to the admiration of viewers who have little idea about what was going on in the cage.
The video ended with the lion still refusing to give up an inch to his visitor and switching his aggression levels little by little, and the drunk man tries to maintain his cool.
To the audience, it was unwanted entertainment but for the drunk man, it may be a matter of life and death, as no staff of the zoo came to the scene for the entire two minutes that the lion and the drunk man were having their conversation.
The Zoo manager said that Gautam Guchait was in an inebriated state when he jumped into the lion’s enclosure at around 10.30 am on Friday. The lion, which was out of its cage then, attacked Guchait, a resident of Patashpur in East Midnapore, around his right leg, shoulders, waist and neck, dragged him around 30ft into its shelter and then released him.
While the Zoo vet said, “The lion acted more in self-defence because it got nervous by the intrusion. A full-fledged attack would have killed the man.” The Zoo manager Ashish Samanta added that the lion was frightened to see a human inside his enclosure and has remained scared since the incident.

According to reports, the other visitors alerted the zoo workers about the incident. When the workers reached the enclosure they found Gautam Guchait lying injured on the ground. Guchait was immediately rushed to SSKM Hospital in Kolkata and his family was informed.
