The social media users were really shocked to see this video as it was a huge risk to the human life, as the 7 lions started casually roaming on the roads.
Fortunately no humans were affected by the presence of these 7 lions on the road and the man who shot this video might be courageous enough. The road usually have small amount of vehicles passing through it, and none of the vehicles were able to spot the pride of seven lions that were roaming on the roads.
