At first, it seems that the leopard went all the way up for some adventure but as the camera zooms out, it becomes evident that the animal is stuck up there.
A video of a leopard resting on a branch of a mango tree has surfaced online. But was it actually resting? At first, it seems that the big cat went all the way up for some adventure but that's not the case. After a few seconds, as the camera zooms out, it becomes evident that the leopard is stuck up there. The animal was rescued after eight hours amid a huge crowd of onlookers. Wildlife management is a field of daily adventure. Now imagine how this leopard reached there & surrounded by sea of people. We had to rescue him. pic.twitter.com/qvqSdKTzWD There are SOPs but then every situation is unique & with different challenges.Every situation demands on the spot innovation from crowd control to rescue. And earlier experience helps.This one was convinced to get down after 7-8 hours of operation. 2-3 months old case. Few pictures about what it takes to convince the leopard as well as people. pic.twitter.com/uXgGnM3LwE If you wondered why the leopard climbed a coconut tree, see till the end???? pic.twitter.com/ArEe8XR5o6
The clip was shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Praveen Kaswan on Twitter. "Wildlife management is a field of daily adventure. Now imagine how this leopard reached there & surrounded by a sea of people. We had to rescue him," he said in the tweet.
