A viral video of an unusual interaction between a lion and two men has stunned the internet.

The video has gained over 31.5M views and several comments.

The clip captures two men outside the cage at the zoo, placing their hands inside the lion's enclosure without much hesitation. One can be seen taking a picture by putting his hand inside the lion's cage.

The lion's response to this has left the internet baffled.

Rather than attacking the man, the lion is seen calmly pushing the man's hand outside the enclosure.

The animal's action is interpreted as a gesture to remind the visitors to follow the rules.

Internet's Reaction

Netizens reacted to the video with amusing comments.

One comment read, "Lion: Bro, others won’t be like me, please don’t be silly."

Another user questioned the man's actions by commenting, "Good thing that lion wasn't hungry. Why would you put your hand under the fence?"

A third person remarked, "He's lucky he got a lion with a nice demeanor. More aggressive ones and he'd be missing some digits or hands."

Another comment read "Excuse me, sir, no hands outside the fence please. Thank you".
