The video is posted on the official Twitter handle of Panna Tiger Reserve located in Madhya Pradesh. Besides tigers, leopards, and wolves, this place is home to nearly 200 species of birds, including migratory ones. Reptiles, including snakes like pythons, are also found in the reserve.
The post showcasing the leopard hunting the monkey was posted with a descriptive caption. “A rare sight @pannatigerreserve. A leopard can be seen hunting a baby monkey by jumping on the tree,” it reads.
The video opens to show a leopard perched atop a tree. Within moments, the big cat jumps from one tree to another and falls on the ground. However, it quickly becomes clear that it didn't come down alone.
