A video of a leopardess with her newborn cubs in a hut in Nashik’s Igatpuri has gone viral on Twitter. Forest officials said the cubs, that were born on Tuesday, and their mother are safe and healthy.

We are waiting for the leopardess to take cubs to another place. We cannot catch the leopardess now," Ganeshrao Jole, Forest Department officer said. The forest official also said that leopards are found in ‘big numbers’ in Igatpuri.

The 51-second video shows the cubs wandering in the hut while their mother rests and keeps a watch on them.
