Much to the jaguar’s surprise, the man spins around and scares the living daylights out of the animal. The jaguar then jumps onto a ledge, sticks his face out toward the man with its jaw open and surprisingly kisses the man over and over again.

The viral video has been viewed more than 79,000 times.
