A picture of a black panther is going viral on social media. The picture has been tweeted by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on his Twitter handle. The picture shows a black panther from a wildlife sanctuary in South Goa.
Sawant said that the picture is from Netravali wildlife sanctuary and it shows a glimpse of Goa’s rich wildlife.
The sanctuary is known as habitat for tigers and this is for the first time a lone Black Panther was spotted there, said a senior forest department official.
Netizens found many similarities between the black panther and Bagheera of Jungle Book.
Some praised about the panther’s black shiny velvety fur while others thought if Mowgly and Baloo, the other characters from the Jungle Book could also be found nearby.
Since coronavirus lockdown, the Jungle Book cartoon serial has been started airing on the DD network as children are staying home with no studies and exams to go by.
The Jungle Book is a famous cartoon series that gained worldwide appreciation for its story of a small boy who lives in the jungle and brought up by a pack of wolves. When a tiger named Sher Khan threatens to kill the boy Mowglee, a panther Bagheera and a bear Baloo help him out to escape from the challenges.
