We as human beings sometimes forget how raw and ruthless nature can be, and how it is a stage to showcase the constant struggle for survival of the fittest. We can learn a lot from the animals that roam the wild. Their instincts and survival tactics are truly awe-inspiring, and watching videos of their hunting skills can give us a glimpse into the harsh realities of life in the wilderness.
Today, we are bringing you a video of a rare sight of snow leopard hunting its prey that truly stands out from the rest. With its unmatched agility and hunting prowess, the snow leopard will leave you in awe.
The dramatic video shows the snow leopard chasing its prey on a steep slope. After a long chase, the snow leopard finally manages to get hold of it but falls down the slope. The prey then tries to flee from the hold of the leopard but it does not succeed and continues to tumble together down the slope.
The video was shared on Twitter by a handle called @the_wildindia, which has gone viral with over 116.5K views over 2K like and many retweets.
IFS officer Parveen Kaswan also shared the video on his Twitter handle with the caption, “The grey ghost in action.”
The rare sight left netizens truly amazed. People couldn’t stop pointing out how swiftly the snow leopard didn’t leave its prey while falling down the cliff.
A user wrote, "For the leopard to be that relentless, imagine how desperate it is for food..! Nature is cruel yet beautiful ", while another one wondered, " Does it have bones of spring? Wont they get damaged from the fall on the rocks?."
"Amazing. Any other animal would certainly have died in this fall. Looks they must have fell more than 100 metres," a user commented. " Crazier than any damn Hollywood action sequence," another one wrote.
