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.
