The jaw-dropping footage revealed how the stealthy leopard sneaked into the lawn area of a residence, targeting a dog peacefully snoozing outside the main door.

Speaking to ANI, Vrishali Gade, a dedicated officer from the Forest Department, shared insights into the incident. The compound area of the bungalow, where the leopard entered, belongs to Prabhavkar Manude, the owner of the residence. Gade suggested that the leopard may have ventured from a nearby field area, and authorities, in collaboration with the Forest Department, have initiated measures to set up a secure cage to contain the elusive predator.
Fortunately, there have been no reports of the leopard posing a threat to any residents in the Adgaon Shivar area. However, locals remain on high alert, aware of the presence of the majestic yet potentially dangerous visitor.
