With thousands of likes and comments, while some internet users found the jump to being ‘perfect’, others said they were ‘stunned’ to see the video. One of the internet users also pointed out the cars in the background and said, "Could see the vehicle moving around in the background... That's super cool... Both can coexist only if humans remain kind enough”. Another user called it “the real king”.
Last month, another video of a leopard doing ‘near-impossible jump’ to catch its prey took over the internet. In the video, one could see the leopard doing an ‘incredible backflip’ on a tree in a bid to catch its prey. The leopard could be seen chasing the monkey on a tree and then gripping on the neck of its prey. With hundreds of comments, several internet users even called the video ‘insane’. While others were worried and wrote, "The Leopard too might have got bruised & injured, falling among the tree branches - even if its feet were facing downwards”.
Meanwhile, amid the COVID-19 lockdown, the nation has been spotting leopards on roads. Recently, the animal was even spotted sitting at Kattedan underbridge near Mailardevpally Police Station in Rangareddy district. it later, however, escaped into a nearby open space before it could be caught. A rescue operation by Police and forest officials is underway.
