Going Vegan: Lioness Munches On Leaves In Rare Viral Video, The Internet Is Amazed
In a video going viral on the internet, a lioness is seen hopping onto her two hind legs and eating leaves from a tree. The visual has shocked many online.
Lions have been considered the undisputed kings of the wild for a long time. Despite having faced rivalry from bigger and more ferocious animals, the wild cat retains its title. However, in a recent video going viral on the internet, people questioned everything they thought they knew about lions as they were simply left gaping at what the feline was up to in the clip.
Watch Lioness Munch On Leaves In Viral Video
Twitter
A video went viral on Twitter after being shared by Susanta Nanda, an Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer. In the clip, a lioness was doing something unexpected: eating grass and leaves.
The clip was fascinating for many, showing the lioness holding onto a tree's branches and munching on the green leaves. Normally, we don't see powerful predators like lions doing this in the wild, but there are interesting reasons why she might be behaving this way.
The forest officer confirmed in his tweet that lions indeed enjoyed their occasional vegan lunches. While this might only be a rare occurrence, at times when lions are facing stomach aches or hydration deficiencies, they use the flora around them to regain their strength.
Lioness' Behaviour Was Similar To That Of House Cats
The video received thousands of clicks on the microblogging site, and people on the internet were both amazed and delighted to see such an unusual sight. Many Twitter users shared that they had seen similar behaviour in their pet cats, and they drew comparisons between domestic cats and wild lions.
Yes. Lions sometimes eat grass & leaves. It may come as a surprise, but there are many reasons as why they eat grass & leaves.

One user mentioned how their pets also loved munching on grass and tree leaves. But too much of it sometimes proved to be detrimental to their stomach health.
yes, my cats and dogs too love grass, but sometimes if they eat too much it can upset their tummy.

Another joked that the lioness wanted to experience the vegetarian life for once, which is why she was reaching out to the green leaves on the tree for a taste.
S/he wanted to experience being a vegetarian for few hours! ?
