“Saw today, 6th March, in Kabini wild life sanctuary -- another epic encounter between the Black Panther and his adversary Scarface!” Nilekani wrote while sharing the video. He concluded the tweet by attributing the video credit to an individual named Vijay Prabhu.

The clip opens to show the black panther climbing a tree and the leopard perched on one of its branches. Within moments, the black panther gets extremely close to the other big cat. The video ends with the duo standing face to face.
