Are you the adventurous one in your group? If you enjoy skydiving for the adrenaline rush, you might want to witness a wild twist, quite literally. A video showing a lion skydiving with a human companion has gone viral on Instagram. Yes, you read that.

The jaw-dropping clip opens with a lion mid-air, legs spread, seemingly soaking in the thrill of an adventurous sky ride. While a human skydiver accompanies the animal, it’s the lion who clearly steals the spotlight.

Usually spotted roaming and hunting in forests, the wildlife made a highly unconventional appearance from several thousand feet above ground in this Instagram reel, leaving viewers both amazed and confused.

Take a look at the video below

The video was posted by the Instagram page @travelling.shillong, based out of Shillong. However, the exact location of this lion’s activity remains unconfirmed.

Also, many viewers questioned the authenticity of the visuals, wondering whether it was a real-life stunt or a mere creation using AI or advanced editing tools.

Interestingly, the same Instagram page has previously shared similar content featuring animals like tigers and cats appearing to skydive, leading some to believe this might just be another digitally altered video.

Netizens react

Nevertheless, the clip has taken the internet by storm, garnering over 34 million views. Reactions in the comments were a mix of amusement and disbelief.

“It's real, not AI. I was the lion,” one user quipped.

“How he is so calm,” another commented.

A third hilariously added, “Bro, try elephant once”.
