In the video, the giant lioness, named Sirga, is seen wrapping her powerful paws around the man in what appears to be an affectionate hug. While some viewers were touched by the seemingly special bond between the lioness and the man, others were alarmed by the size and strength of the wild animal.

The footage has stirred a lively debate online. Some users praised the deep trust and connection shown in the video, while others questioned the safety of such close interaction with a predator.

One user wrote, “This is so beautiful! The bond they have is incredible.”

Another said, “I can’t believe how calm they both are. This is proof that love can exist between species.”

A third commented, “This is terrifying. No matter how close you are to an animal, they’re still dangerous.”

A fourth user chimed in, “People are underestimating how powerful these animals are. This could have ended very badly.”

A fifth wrote, “It’s amazing to see how gentle Sirga is with him, but it still scares me to think of the risk.”

Yet another commented, “This is heartwarming and nerve-wracking at the same time. I don’t know how to feel!”
