It has enthralled and alarmed internet users alike.

‘Such occurrences are extremely rare to witness and record”, said another.

One user simply described the video as “wonderful”.

Tigers, sloth bears, Indian wolves, pangolins, leopards, gharials, Indian foxes, and other animal species can be found at the Panna Tiger Reserve.

Bar-headed goose, crested honey buzzard, red-headed vulture, blossom-headed parakeet, changeable hawk-eagle, and Indian vulture are among the more than 200 bird species that call the Reserve their home.

Last month, another horrifying video of a leopard assaulting a man went viral.

A guy was attacked by a wild cat in Assam’s Dibrugarh while attempting to photograph the animal. The incident, which occurred near the Kharjan tea estate, was captured on video, and it showed people fleeing in terror as the leopard chased them.

The leopard was later tranquillized and taken away by a team from the Tinsukia forest department.
