Summary
A cattle herder in India, Kalu Parmar, was attacked by a lioness and pinned down for 30 minutes before the animal let him go. Parmar was able to soothe the lion by petting it, while villagers tried to scare it away with stones. The lion eventually retreated, and Parmar was taken to the hospital for treatment. This incident is part of a recent spike in lion attacks in the area, leading to authorities capturing 30 lions in June.
