And in less than a week, the 40-second clip has over 45,000 reactions with more than 3,000 shares. Maharashtra: Tiger Walks 1,300 Kms in 5 Months to Find a Mate and Prey, Making it The ‘Longest Walk Ever’.

Leopards have been caught on camera in the middle of their hunt several times, but their mating is rarely captured. One of the incredible leopard hunts that went viral last year, was the wild cat taking on a huge python and smashing the snake’s head. Pictures of this scary encounter went viral from Masai Mara in Africa. Meanwhile, some netizens think that in the above video, photographers and observers breach the privacy of these animals. Some commented that the sound of the photographers disturbed the male who ran off.
