The internet can’t get enough of these rescue videos. This footage of a leopard being released into the wild is a fantastic addition to the genre. The video, shared on Twitter by IFS officer Ramesh Pandey, will undoubtedly make you applaud the forest officials entrusted with the rescue operation.
The leopard is seen being released into the wild from a cage attached to a truck in the video. The big cat leaps to its freedom as the gates are opened and crosses a small stream.
“It’s always rewarding for the field staff to return rescued animals to their natural habitats.” “Congratulations to DFO Meerut and team on a successful leopard rescue and release,” the caption read.
