When large predators roam the city streets, we need to be careful. Since we are taking over their natural habitat, leopards have moved their hunt into the city. Unfortunately, this means that their prey can be our beloved pets. This week we have a leopard on the hunt for a dog, leaping over the fence in pursuit of its prey.
Really don't know the source, got it as a forward on #watsapp
But just witness the agility and skills of the #Leopard.
You can observe the #dog being witty ad the Leopard outsmarting him.#flyingleopard.@ParveenKaswan @RandeepHooda @ranjeetnature @akshay_journo @tweetsvirat pic.twitter.com/774vrV2deM— Nikit Surve (@nikit_surve) October 24, 2020
Do you have a photo or video of an urban species doing something unusual? What about a rare plant or animal that you were surprised to find in a city? If so, let Lindsay know or Tweet at us and you could be featured as a future observation of the week
I am interested in urban ecology and evolution. Urbanization can have drastic impacts on local ecosystems, both negative and positive, and creates a new environment for organisms to experience. To understand the impacts that urbanization plays on organisms, I look through the lense of population genetics and molecular evolution.
