A group of people in Madhya Pradesh, India, learned a tough lesson after trying to lure a wild leopard closer for photos, only to be att*cked. The incident took place in central India’s Madhya Pradesh state, where the group, reportedly on a picnic, saw the leopard in nearby woods and called it over, as reported by the Indian Express.
At first, the group took out their smartphones, laughing and filming as the leopard approached. However, the situation turned d*ngerous when the leopard charged at them. One man, captured on camera, was chased and mauled before others managed to scare the animal off.
Three individuals were injured and taken to a local hospital, though the extent of their injuries hasn’t been disclosed.
Authorities have issued a warning, advising visitors to steer clear of the area and be wary of the d*ngerous wildlife in the nearby woods and parklands.
