{{/usCountry}}“I love how they stop playing when the child stops moving it! This is so adorable!” posted an individual. “Interactions like this is the reason people become vets and zookeepers,” added another. “She’s going to want a big cat as a pet,” reacted a third.
Some thought differently…
“That leopard thinks that child would make a tasty snack!” wrote an Instagram user. “The cat’s in a cage...” wrote another. "I hope you all know that the leopard does not want to play. Imagine what would happen if there is no glass," posted a third.
