Leopard Appears Below Window, Man Says “Run, Run!”
In the viral video, the man sees the leopard and says, “Guys, the tiger is here.” He then makes a “bhak-bhak-bhak” sound to scare it away, shouting “run, run!” to encourage it to run away. Surprisingly, the leopard is seen running away after hearing his call.
According to the man, the incident occurred around 10:30 p.m. The video was shared on Instagram by Bala Dutt Upadhyay, and it became a topic of discussion on social media. He later commented that firecrackers were being burst in the house at around 9 p.m., shortly before the incident.
The video drew hilarious reactions from people
After the video surfaced, people expressed concern over the leopard’s approach to the house and also commented on the man’s reaction. Many users jokingly commented that the man was calmly filming the video despite seeing the leopard so closely. Some even began correcting him on one of his statements.
Indeed, in the video, the man is heard calling the leopard “tiger.” Users commented that the animal was a leopard, not a tiger. However, some also pointed out that in the hilly areas of Uttarakhand, it is customary to call the leopard “tiger” in the local vernacular. The viral video has once again brought to light the increasing contact between humans and wild animals in the hilly areas.
