Heart-Stopping Video: Leopard Stealthily Pouncing On A Dog In Gujarat, Caught On Camera

Members of the cat family are mostly carnivores - lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards. When they hunt, can we really blame them for acting on their

natural instincts

? Humans hunting a leopard for being a ‘man-eater’ definitely comes from emotional attachment, but is it right to kill a being for being its natural self?

None the less, whenever dangerous beasts like leopards invade human settlements, it is something to be nervous about.

A spine-chilling incident was caught on a CCTV camera in Gujarat’s Amreli, which might give you the heebie-jeebies.

In a now-viral video, a leopard can be seen sneaking in on a black dog, sleeping outside what looks like its owner’s house. The leopard made calm and calculated moves, being as sneaky as possible, not letting the prey know of its existence; and it succeeded. It pounced on the dog that awoke instantly and ran for dear life. The leopard was taken aback by the resistance but was unwilling to let go of his game and ran after the dog.

Obviously this gave a good scare to people on the Internet. One of them wrote, ‘I hope the dog is fine! Couldn't they just let the dog inside’.

The video was indeed quite horrifying to watch, here is hoping that the dog ran with all its might to safety.
