Leopard Ambush on Mountain Road Kullu Valley, India — April 2, 2024 A breathtaking and terrifying moment of wild survival was caught on camera Tuesday on a narrow road in the Himalayan foothills, where a leopard launched a daring ambush on a full-grown bull in front of stunned motorists. The shocking video, filmed from a vehicle stuck behind the confrontation, begins as the leopard spectacularly leaps over the hood of a white SUV to attack the bull. The big cat sinks its claws and teeth into the bull's hind quarters, refusing to let go. In a desperate and clever move, the bull bolts towards the cliffside, using a tree to slam the predator against its trunk. "He's slamming it!" a passenger can be heard shouting in the video. The impact forces the leopard to release its grip, and it tumbles to the ground as the bull makes a successful escape down the road. Wildlife experts who reviewed the footage called the attack exceptionally bold, as a single leopard rarely attempts to take down such large and powerful prey. They noted the bull’s intelligent use of its environment to defend itself was a remarkable display of animal instinct. The incident highlights the increasing frequency of human-wildlife encounters as roads and development expand into remote habitats. Authorities remind travelers in the region to remain in their vehicles and give wildlife a wide berth, as these encounters can be dangerously unpredictable for both humans and the animals involved.
