Beautiful videos shot inside the jungles at times go viral on social media. A video of a bear cub daringly escaping from the clutches of a lion has recently gone viral. The video depicts a lion attempting to capture a bear cub, and after realising the danger, the bear cub makes a daring effort to escape, only to be saved by another bear.
The users who share the video claims that the video has been nominated for the Guinness Book of World Records, the accompanying caption reads: Mind blowing Video, Super Videography. This Video is nominated for Guinness book of World Records. Amazing Effort by the videographer.
Fact Check-
The photography in the video clip is just as beautiful as it is in the film. So we began our investigation with the presumption that the footage was from a movie.
A reverse image search of the video key frames yielded a video with similar footage published by a YouTube channel on October 31, 2007. The channel description described it as a video clip from the 1988 film L’Ours .
A subsequent search for the film based on this clue showed that it is in French. The plot of the film is based on James Oliver Curwood’s book “The Grizzly King.” The 94-minute film’s story revolves around the afterlife of a bear cub that loses its mother in an accident. This is the story of a bear cub who ventures out into the wild alone, encounters a large male bear, and works together to live in the mighty but dangerous wilderness. The story progresses as the bear cub learns through trial and error that the bear must always be on alert.
The film was shot in various places, including Italy’s Dolomites, Germany, Canada, and Austria, according to Annaud’s website.
