Leopard enters field, first thing farmer did was take a casual selfie; viral video sparks reactions
The animal does not show any immediate signs of aggression and no confrontation is visible in the footage.
A video circulating on social media shows a surprising encounter between a farmer and a leopard that allegedly entered his field.
Instead of running away or seeking help, the man is seen calmly pulling out his mobile phone and taking a selfie with the wild animal.
In the viral clip, the leopard appears to be sitting quietly just a short distance from the man. The animal does not show any immediate signs of aggression, and no confrontation is visible in the footage.
The video is reportedly from Bihar and has quickly went viral online due to the risky and unusual behaviour captured on camera.
While the video has intrigued many viewers, it is but obvious that approaching wild animals, especially leopards, can be extremely dangerous.
One wrote: "Leopard had to oblige as he was standing in his farm. Basic manners," another commented: "Any post from him after selfie?"
The authenticity and exact circumstances of the incident have not been independently verified and the report is based on the viral footage shared on social media.
