The viral video was shared by Twitter user Nikit Surve, a <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/mumbai-all" target="_blank">Mumbai</a>-based wildlife biologist conducting research on human-leopard interactions. In his tweet, Surve mentioned that he received the video via WhatsApp and he hailed the video as a testament to the agility and skill of leopards.
The seven-second video clip has also been shared by Indian Forest Services (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda, who captioned it, "A leopard is known to leap over 20 feet and can jump up to 10 feet into the air."
In the video clip, an animal can be seen running between the metal bars of a gate at top speed. The animal is chased by the leopard, as the big cat heels and jumps over the gate in the pursuit of its prey.
