  • Fact Check: Neither tiger nor cheetah — this video from Assam shows a leopard attack! After eight cheetahs were released into Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh on September 17, social media has been buzzing with photos and videos of these wild cats. Listen to Story India Today Fact Check This video is from Assam's Kaziranga National Park. This incident took place on January 19. The animal seen in the video is a leopard. On September 17, eight cheetahs imported from Namibia were released into Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh. Since then, social media has been buzzing with photos and videos of these wild cats. Amid all this, a video purportedly showing a tiger attacking a cyclist has been shared widely. The video shows a man cycling on a road with woods on both sides. All of a sudden, a wild animal jumps from inside the trees and attacks the man. He loses his balance and falls off his bicycle. Even as the animal retreats back, the man, visibly scared, cycles back in the opposite direction. This video has been shared on Facebook and Twitter with people claiming this incident happened on the Rishikesh-Dehradun road. Some people, on the other hand, claimed this video shows one of the cheetahs released into the national park in MP. The archived version of a similar post can be seen here. AFWA's investigation found that both these claims are false. AFWA PROBE Upon reverse-searching frames from the viral video, we came across the clip shared by Indian Forest Service official Praveen Keswan on July 15 this year. That cyclist not able to believe on his luck !! @Independent pic.twitter.com/WVbDCMEpX6 — Parveen Kaswan, IFS (@ParveenKaswan) June 15, 2022 In a tweet thread, Keswan stated this video was from Assam's Kaziranga forest. He also mentioned the animal seen in the video was a leopard. He wrote, "Leopards are very adaptable species. They live in farmlands, sugarcane crops, tea gardens and even in cities. On hills and in forests. Sometimes the interactions are safe but many a times conflicts also arise." Leopards are very adaptable species. They live in farmlands, sugarcane crops, tea gardens and even in cities. On hills and in forests. Sometime the interactions are safe but many a times conflicts also arise. Imagine the chances of a cyclist being hit by leopard on road. — Parveen Kaswan, IFS (@ParveenKaswan) June 15, 2022 Further refined searches led us to a MoneyControl report from June 16. Here too, it was stated that this incident was caught on camera in the Kaziranga National Park in Assam. An ANI video report from June said that the incident took place in the Haldibari Animal Corridor on January 19. It was captured by CCTV cameras installed by the Kaziranga National Park authority. The report added that the cyclist did not suffer any major injuries. Please share it on our at 73 7000 7000 You can also send us an email at factcheck@intoday.com
