A beautiful wild cat known as lynx is seen strolling around in the 45-second video. The video also included several dogs barking at the cat, indicating that seeing a cat like that is unusual for them as well. Despite the barks, the cat remained unfazed.
It’s a Himalayan Lynx. One of the wild cat species found in India. A beautiful and rare creature. Found in Leh-Ladakh. Other found in this zone are Snow leopard and Pallas cat. Pic Wikipedia.

The video was captioned, “A beautiful and rare animal found in India, in the Ladakh region. Not many have heard about it. Guess what.” But the video was first posted by Fatima Sherine on Twitter.
Netizens reaction
As the officer already asked in his caption to guess the rare animal’s name, people filled the comment section. A user wrote, “Its beautiful tail looks like an animal from Fox’s family member . Not ferocious, timid ,eyes questioning where to go ? It’s possible that after-hours’s dogs will be friendly and realize it is harmless.” Another user writes, “It is very clear from the tufted ears that it is a Lynx. There is no doubt about it.”
