In a rare moment, a leopard is seen feasting on a huge spotted deer that it managed to kill. Usually, Leopards would take their kill up the tree but in this case, the stag was too heavy to pull up a tree and the leopard had no choice but to feed on the ground. Notice how cautious the leopard is while feeding. The kill was close to a highway cutting through the forest and hence you hear the vehicle sounds.
