The heart-stopping clip begins with a man leisurely cycling along a highway that cuts through a dense forest. Without warning, a leopard suddenly emerges from the bushes, lunging towards the unsuspecting cyclist. Miraculously, the man manages to escape unharmed as the startled leopard quickly retreats into the wilderness.

The video, now circulating with more than 139,000 likes, has elicited a range of reactions from viewers. Shock and disbelief have been common sentiments, with many expressing their amazement at the cyclist's narrow escape.

While claims suggest the incident occurred in Assam, the authenticity of the location remains unverified. Nevertheless, the footage has ignited a conversation about the potential dangers of traversing through wildlife habitats.

Commenting on the incident, one user shared a piece of advice: "In open forests, beware of wild animals and make sounds while passing. They won't come near. Anyway, God bless him and all."

Another user pointed out the role of a red car in averting a potentially tragic outcome, stating, "The red car saved the day for the cyclist. The leopard was taken aback by the presence of that car."
