The magnificent creature appears to size up his prey before attempting to launch his attack on the man posing by the enclosure
This is the terrifying moment a panther appears to creep up on a man and attempt an attack - with no glass to separate the pair.
In the clip, the black animal stealthily eyes up his prey before crawling quietly towards the man, who has his back turned and is facing the camera.
Just as the wild creature is about to pounce, the man turns and backs away from the panther as it leaps towards him.
But it seems the panther and the man know each other quite well, as the man turns and offers his friend a kiss.
The panther playfully bats his face away before eventually giving in and licking at the man's lips.
Amazingly, the man then pats the panther on the back and it retreats, instead opting to lie down in the grass.
The footage was uploaded to Facebook by The Black Jaguar White Tiger Foundation and has been viewed more than 8.2 million times.
The organisation was founded Eduardo Cielo in Monterrey, Mexico.
It is the first and still the only sanctuary to specialise in big cats in Mexico.
