Survival skills came in an unlikely fashion for Gamara.

It was the longest half an hour of his life, as an Indian cattle herder survived being mauled and pinned down by a lioness with a rather novel technique.

He treated the beast like a house cat and gave it a little affection.

Yes, you read it right.

The New York Post reported:

“Kalubhai Boghabhai Gamara was minding his own business in Gujarat on India’s west coast when the lion was suddenly upon him, badly mauling him and leaving him fearing for his life.

Horrified onlookers tried throwing rocks at the beast to get her away from the imperiled cattle herder, but to no avail.

After knocking him to the ground, she kept him pinned beneath her massive front legs, toying with him as horrified bystanders looked on, some of whom tried to help by lobbing rocks at the big cat, but the predator was undeterred.”

The lioness flashed her teeth at Gamara several times, until he tried stroking the lion’s fur, something that’s probably not in any survival manual.

But that apparently worked well, as the beast let go of Gamara and departed to a nearby forested area.

BBC reported:

“Kalubhai has been admitted to Sir Takhtasinhji General Hospital in Bhavnagar town, 60 km away, for treatment, according to villagers.

This is the second incident in Bhavnagar district in the last few days where lions have attacked humans. Earlier on June 18, the body of Nagjibhai Gujaria was found in a bush near his house in Gadda village of Mahuva taluka adjacent to Palitana taluka.

Nagjibhai’s family had claimed that Nagjibhai was killed in a lion attack.”
