One simply should not mess with the members of the cat family. Especially, leopards and tigers. These are not animals that are natural pets and fooling around them can prove to be harmful to humans. And that is exactly what happened with a man when he tried to get too close to an injured leopard.?
IFS Praveen Kaswan posted a video on Twitter with the caption, ¡®A leopard was hit by a vehicle and got injured. But a man decided to take a picture by going close. A clear lesson taught by leopard that we need to respect wild animals. Don't be like this man. Wildlife needs space¡¯.

In the video, you can see the leopard lying down, probably injured, and people gathered around it. Though most of them are at a safe distance, one man continuously tries to get close to it, to get pictures. Annoyed after sometime, the leopard leaps on the man and everyone, horror-struck, runs away. Even though the leopard is injured, it does manage to get hold of the man. Lucky for him, the leopard does not try to eat him and leaves him as if with a warning.??
This incident would have taught the man a good lesson - do not get too close to danger for ¡®fun¡¯ and footage. As the IFS mentions in his post, wildlife needs space. Humans have anyway invaded their habitat by making roads and buildings where they used to live.?
