Social media has seen its fair share of unbelievable moments , but a lion diving out of an aircraft? That’s the latest clip causing a stir across platforms. A video showing a lion mid-air during what appears to be a skydive has gone viral, collecting millions of views and sparking a flood of reactions. The bizarre visuals have left the internet deeply divided: Is this a real stunt, or just another ultra-realistic AI creation?
The video, shared by Instagram page travelling.shillong, shows a lion seemingly skydiving with a human. The animal appears calm while free-falling, which is what raised eyebrows almost immediately. With over 2 million likes in under a week, the video has become a talking point across platforms– but not for reasons of admiration alone.
Several users were quick to point out that something didn’t sit right. From the lion's still mane to the oddly consistent facial expressions, doubts began to surface. Many questioned how such a dangerous feat could be pulled off, and more importantly, why.
The video’s realistic look has sparked a debate online, with some people sure it’s AI-generated, while others are still unsure.
One user joked, “Just one Q - How did you convince him,” while another wrote, “Now, bro is really bored of ruling forests, he wants to own the sky.” Another comment that gained traction said, “Lion be like:- Niche Jane de fir btata hu.”
But humour aside, many expressed concern about the audience’s inability to distinguish between real and artificial. “The number of people who can't identify this as AI-generated is concerning,” wrote one user.
Even under the assumption that the video is digitally created, the content sparked a debate on how far creators are willing to go to get attention. “Ridiculous things humans do to satisfy their souls! NOT COOL and unfair to the poor animal,” said a viewer.
Another added, “At least give him a helmet, maybe he's unable to breathe.”
Concerns weren’t just limited to the visuals. Some users raised the larger issue of ethics in viral content creation, especially when it involves wild animals, real or not.
As of now, there is no confirmation on whether the video is authentic or AI-generated. The Times of India does not take responsibility for the video's authenticity.
