Watch: Leopard makes a rare kill of baby monkey at MP's Panna Tiger Reserve
Panna Tiger Reserve shared a video of a rare kill by a leopard. The big cat climbs a tree to kill a baby monkey; gets captured on camera.
FollowLeopards are known to be very swift with their kills. Among the felines such as tiger, lions, cheetahs and leopards, the latter two have an agile body that helps them climb trees, whereas lions and tigers, despite coming from the same big cat family, stay at the ground.
Some time ago, a video from Panna Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh's Panna district had gone viral, showcasing a leopard climbing a tree to make a monkey kill. A similar and rare video has once again popped from the same jungles -- a leopar claimed a tree, made a jump in the air and killed a baby money, landing with its prey on the ground.
