Very interesting video. Quite a yound cat, would not expect a mature cat to do that.

Very exciting for those videoing the intgereaction with the cat only a few feet away.

Good that nobody was stupid enough to try & pet the cat, might havce ended very poorly.

The driver who the leopard put his head right up against the driver's head, said he made no eye contact with the leopard.

I'm guessing the leopard had never seen a human before

Guess it didn't like the smell or wasn't hungry.
In "this case", curiosity didn't kill the cat. Quite young to be on it's own I'd have thought. Where's the parent(s)? A (B or G) bear cub that young has a mamma close by.
Baboons could kill it easily or not?

That Leppard is full size, or almost full size. Definitely no need for mama.
