What happens when a man has an unexpected rendezvous with a panther? One would expect the meeting to end up in bloodshed, but here's footage that will literally give you chills in the climax.

At first, it looks like the man in the video is doomed as a full grown panther stalks him from behind while he leans against a wall and speaks in Spanish.
