A video was making rounds on social media that showed a cat confronting a leopard while they both were trapped inside a well.
The clip, shared by a foreign news agency, shows the leopard advancing towards the feline.
“A leopard and a cat come face-to-face after falling down a well in Nashik,” the tweet read.
“The leopard fell in the well while chasing the cat. It was later rescued and released in its natural habitat,” says Pankaj Garg, Deputy Conservator of Forests, West Nashik Division.”
The officials have disclosed very little about the feline’s condition.
