Have you ever witnessed a leopard approach its victim and attack it in broad daylight? If you haven’t already, you should view this video posted by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan.
The footage shows a leopard creeping up on a dog napping along the highway and then pouncing on it. The carnivore then fled, the prey still in its mouth. A man was sleeping right next to the dog. The video is honestly rather frightening.
Several vehicles can be seen lined up together in the footage. This might be a truck stop on the highway or a rest stop for drivers. A man may be seen sleeping on a cot outside in the open air. Parveen Kaswan writes, “A leopard in action on the side of the busy Pune-Nashik highway.”
The video elicited a wide range of emotions. “Wondering how the dog missed the alert. They can usually hear or smell danger, even at low decibels,” one user commented.
They love hot dogs. Look at the stealth & agility. Dog had no idea what was coming. A leopard in action on side of busy Pune-Nashik highway. pic.twitter.com/cn0pJDhCV9
