'Leopard didn't forget...'
As of the last update, the video had garnered over 73,000 views, with users expressing amazement at the rare sight where a leopard avoided attacking another animal.
"Wild boars are pretty dangerous, right? One wrong move by the predator can cause grievous injury," said one user while another added: "Wild boar is a powerful animal. It can kill humans easily."
A third commented: "Leopard didn't forget sir, we forget what a wild boar is. It's one of the deadliest small animals in the forest. Extremely agile, fast moving and can change directions in a second."
A fourth said: "Maybe the leopard was full stomach, so wanted to rest instead of attacking."
Wild boars are native to Asia, parts of North Africa and most of Europe. They are built like domestic pigs with thick, long-set bodies, long, mobile, cartilaginous snouts, black hooves, and medium-length tails.
Wild boars live in small family groups comprising females and their young. They are omnivores who eat plants, fruits, crops, roots, and nuts, but are good at adjusting their eating habits to what is available.
