Wild animals belong to the jungle. However, there are many instances when wild animals such as leopards or bears come to places inhabited by humans and have to be rescued. Videos of such wild animals being released back into the wild are always a treat to watch. Like this video of posted on Twitter by an Indian Forest Service officer of a leopard being released into its natural habitat in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut.
IFS officer Ramesh Pandey posted the video on Twitter on March 5 and it has got more than 11,000 views so far.
In the video, a man is seen releasing the leopard by opening its cage at the back of a pickup truck. Within seconds, the wild cat climbs out of the truck and makes a run for the forest after crossing a shallow water body.
“It’s always satisfying for the field staffs to rewild the rescued animals back to their habitats. Kudos to DFO Meerut and team for a successful leopard rescue and release,” he captioned the video.
