According to reports, the predator was pressing the man with its front paws and digging its claws into his leg. During the incident, local residents tried to drive the lion away by throwing stones and shouting. However, due to the animal's aggression, no one dared to approach it.
Then the shepherd took an unexpected path. He began to slowly stroke the lion's head. According to reports, the predator occasionally showed its teeth and roared, but did not bite the man.
Eventually, the lion itself backed away and went into the nearby forest. As a result of the incident, the shepherd survived.
Videos of this incident are spreading widely on social networks.
