The world of the jungle is as interesting as it is dangerous. Predators like lions and tigers usually kill their prey without any mercy, but it is not necessary that the hunter prevails every time. Sometimes the situation becomes completely opposite and even animals considered weak retaliate in such a way that the hunter feels better to run away. Recently, a similar video is being watched a lot on YouTube, in which a unique encounter between an elephant and a lioness is seen. This video has been uploaded on a channel named Latest Sightings and till now it has been viewed by more than 16 million people. Thousands of people have liked and commented on it.
At the beginning of the video, a huge elephant moves towards a small pond in the middle of the forest to quench its thirst. A lioness is already hiding near the wall of the old well on the bank of the pond. She was probably waiting for some small animal to come to drink water and she could take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Her eyes were fixed on every movement around her and she was alert, waiting for her prey. But instead of the prey he was expecting, an elephant walking with heavy steps arrived there.
What is shown in this video?
The presence of the elephant startled the lioness also. She was certainly an experienced hunter, but the elephant’s sudden appearance left her confused for a moment. Even the elephant senses his presence. As soon as his eyes fall on the lioness, he starts drinking water, but remains alert the whole time. His ears and eyes are constantly focused on every movement of the lioness. His nervousness is clearly visible, yet he tries to quench his thirst.
On the other hand, the lioness also looks equally restless. She understood that it was not safe to stay close to the elephant. She keeps looking for an opportunity so that she can get away from there. Both keep looking at each other for some time. No one attacks anyone, but fear is clearly visible in the minds of both. This tense scene of the forest makes even the viewers restless.

After a few moments the lioness slowly tries to move away. Perhaps she wanted to get away from there and maintain a safe distance. But the elephant becomes alert due to its sudden movement. He feels that the lioness is about to attack. In panic, he throws the water filled in his trunk towards her with force. As soon as the strong shower of water falls on the lioness, she gets completely drenched and immediately turns back and runs away. This unexpected reaction scares her and she runs away to a safe place.
