In this video made at the Black Jaguar White Tiger Zoo in Mexico City, a zookeeper is seen being from a leopard by a tiger.
Though it didn’t seem like the leopard was attacking the zookeeper, even an affectionate pounce at the speed the leopard was moving might just have seriously hurt the man.
The footage shows Dharma the leopard making a bounding move towards the zookeeper Eduardo Serio, before it is knocked off track by the tiger, Aztlan.
Eduardo is seen leaning down with a group of white lions, the leopard can be seen in the background making its move towards him. Serio was blissfully unaware of the leopard’s sneaky intentions.
Dharma then begins to run towards Serio. But in a flash, Aztlan is on his feet and swoops to knock the leopard off his feet.
Serio spins as both animals then run towards him. The leopard reaches a paw at Serio’s leg, but a slap down from the zookeeper, and the tiger, shows Dharma who’s boss... this time.
