In South Africa, penguins were seen taking leisure walks. However, a lion took it a notch higher by entering a primary school premises in India.
The incident happened in Una village of Gir Somnath district in Gujarat. The district also houses Gir national park which is famous for its population of lions. The 13-second clip was shared by IFS Susanta Nanda on Twitter and shows two men bringing a huge metal cage to capture the lion who looks at them from a window inside a classroom. Nanda, in the caption, revealed, that the lion was eventually released into the forest.

I was on bike trip through gir forest and inside i met with a guy manning a train crossing only having an axe. It was great experience to share with him. He gave me many insights on forest and lions.
