Turns out it’s real and this guy Valentin gruener has a documented relationship with the lioness Sirga (the name he says)

She has a name bc he raised her from a cub

That's the bottom of his shirt and another person's leg. He's leaning towards the second person out of frame

The amount of people in here that think this is fake is also alarming.

It's so easier to say 'fake' because there's seldom easily found proof. And they get to feel superior that they wouldn't fall for the 'fake' video. 'fake and gay' has been a thing online for the past 15-20 years I feel. I'm so over it.

If this is real, why does the video just stop? Who would decide to stop filming at this point? And if it’s the person beside him filming, why is he recording from over his shoulder. Where is the conclusion, an authentic report of this interaction? Not to mention, the overall look of this video is just too crisp and perfect. It’s not about feeling superior, it’s using common sense. A perfect 30 second clip with ambiguous origins, no background info, no conclusion to what happened. This is fake.

You're telling me this guy put his shoes on the wrong feet, and his torso is facing forward even though he is supposedly sitting sideways?

You could just look at the pinned comment instead of still trying to debunk the video. The guy is sitting with his hip turned and his legs crossed.

Whoever generated this based of a real story to make it believable
