Imagine working hard for an entire day, and at the end of that day, your employer hands you a check for the work you completed. As you walk away with the check in your hand, someone comes up, grabs your check out of your hand, and walks away. If we consider this feeling, we can easily understand how this black panther must have felt.
The video posted below captures footage of a black panther In the dead of night who has finally caught his hunt. This panther had been stalking, or hunting, this deer for an entire day. He was happy to be able to catch up to it finally.
Check Out the Video Below!
We see this black panther understandably taking a break. Hunting an animal down is exhausting work. He starts to look around as if he is keeping watch on his surroundings. Suddenly, we see the black panther stand erect and extend his neck. There is danger lurking in the dark.
He turns his kill around full circle, unwilling to let go; he has met the eyes of the enemy he felt lurking nearby. He sets his kill down, opens his mouth to show his teeth, and starts growling lowly.
Where we might imagine a fight breaking out, a leopard approaches the deer and picks it up as if he were saying, “This mine now.” For an unknown reason, the black panther merely takes off in the dark, never to be seen again.
