3. Leopard Attacks Its Tormentor
This video comes to you out of Africa, when a leopard that had been captured after killing farm animals was being released back into the wild by a group of rangers.
It was placed in a cage, put on the back of a truck and driven back out to its natural habitat, where the door to the cage was carefully opened from a safe distance to allow it to exit without any risk to the rangers. Unfortunately, it refused to leave its cage – obviously fearful of some kind of trap being set by the rangers.
One of the rangers – Alexander Rono, who sat in the truck that was carrying the animal’s cage – decided to coax it out by prodding it repeatedly and rather violently with a big stick. Unsurprisingly, this annoyed the big cat and it made a beeline for Rono, attacking him through the open car window. He suffered slash wounds to his head and chest and required 21 stitches to close them up. A ranger really should have known better and had more respect.
