Viewers react with surprise
Many were taken aback by the reversal of roles between predator and prey. One user commented that “carnivores naturally have more IQ, the leopard simply lured the herbivorous pig away from its piglets and hunted them down,” suggesting the incident might not be as simple as it appeared. Another pointed out the risks for big cats when dealing with boars, writing, “Wild boars are pretty dangerous, right? One wrong move by the predator can cause grievous injury.”

The video also prompted discussion about animal behaviour in such situations. A user remarked, “I think they only fear the size, except lion,” while another explained, “The boar was not afraid but confronted the leopard. Not running away makes all wild animals puzzled.”
Several viewers focused on the boar’s size and strength. One user noted, “The wild boar looks massive,” while another wrote, “That big sized boar can give a tiger a tough time, if attacked from the front. The leopard stood no chance and is lucky to escape unhurt.”
