Video: Tiger turns saviour when leopard charges at zookeeper
Even wild cats can be a man's best friend.
Looks like that not just dogs but even wild cats can be a man’s best friend. At least that is what seems to be the reality in Eduardo Serio’s case. Serio, who is the founder of the Black Jaguar White Tiger zoo in Mexico City, narrowly escaped a potential leopard attack – thanks to a tiger called Aztlan.
Footage of the dramatic moment shows Dharma the leopard moving stealthily in the background while Serio is playfully relaxing with a group of white lions at the zoo. Aztlan the tiger is seen sitting quietly only a few feet away from them. Suddenly, Dharma leaps towards an unsuspecting Serio but is immediately thwarted by the tiger that knocks the leopard off its feet. Serio then manages to calm down both the creatures.
The clip, which is believed to have been shot in October 2015, has now gone viral after it was viewed over 640,000 times on YouTube alone.
