All of a sudden, a terrifying leopard scrambles up the tall side fence, over the top, and down the other side.
The goats in the enclosure scarper through an open door into another part of the pen in a bid to save themselves.
But the big cat grabs one unlucky specimen between its jaws and climbs back up the side fence with it.
The poor bovid can be seen kicking its legs in a desperate but fruitless bid to free itself from the leopard’s grip.
The big cat then disappears with it back over the edge of the fence and into the night in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
The livestock farmer noticed one of his goats was missing later that day, as reported on Need To Know.
It was only when he reviewed the CCTV footage did he realise the grim fate that had befallen it.
He plans to beef up the security on his property in a bid to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
