Leopard Attacks People Who Lured It Out of Woods for Pics, Caught on Video

A group of numbskulls in India apparently lured a leopard over to them for some snaps, and instantly regretted it … ’cause the big cat looked like it was auditioning for “When Animals Attack.”

Here’s the rundown … several people in central India’s state of Madhya Pradesh fired up their smartphones when they noticed a leopard in the nearby woods … and some in the group called the wild animal to come closer, per the Indian Express.

Well … it only took a few moments for the leopard to give them what they wanted, and the predator booked it full-speed toward them … as they stopped laughing — and started screaming.

One person recorded the leopard chasing a man sprinting back to the group, mauling him moments later … before others were able to scare the beast away.

The group was reportedly there for a picnic — 3 people were ultimately injured and hospitalized due to the attack … the exact severity of their wounds was not reported.

Authorities have warned visitors to stay out of that area’s woods and be cautious in the nearby park — ’cause there’s a lot of dangerous wildlife in there … per the Express.

One thing is for sure … literal cat-calling in the area is a horrible idea.
