The video posted by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Ramesh Pandey on Twitter shows a Uttar Pradesh forest department official releasing a leopard from a truck parked on a river bed in the forest area.
It’s always satisfying for the field staffs to rewild the rescued animals back to their habitats.
Kudos to DFO Meerut and team for a successful leopard rescue and release. pic.twitter.com/r5tdLLjlxn— Ramesh Pandey (@rameshpandeyifs) March 5, 2022
The leopard, which was earlier captured from a residential colony in Meerut, immediately leaps off the truck and sprints across the river into the forest.
