A video of a deer fooling a wolf and leopard by pretending dead is making rounds on social media and winning netizens’ hearts.

A leopard can be seen sniffing a deer in the video, but the deer pretends to be dead.

Later a wolf approaches the deer and scares the leopard away, and as the wolf sniffs and bites the deer to check whether it's alive, the deer doesn’t even bother to move at all.

As the wolf moves away from the deer, it runs away swiftly, saving its life and fooling both leopard and wolf.

The video was shared on a Twitter page called Nature is Metal and has garnered more than 411k views and comments from netizens that lauded the deer for its smart move.
