The internet is filled with fascinating nature videos, and among them, those that showcase ape predators hunting are always intriguing to watch. While usually, these videos feature tigers or lions, a clip is going crazy viral on social media that showcases the incredible agility of a cheetah - and it will surely leave you in awe.
The video was posted on Twitter by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Saket Badola, and it shows a cheetah jumping out of the bushes to chase a deer. The deer tries to escape by jumping over the cheetah, but the big cat performs an amazing backflip and manages to catch the deer. The video concludes with the cheetah dragging its prey after a successful hunt.
"Agility is a desirable survival-linked trait in the wild (….and in life) !!," the IFS officer tweeted. The video has received around 60k views and 2,400 likes.
