Leopard Predation Thread

[Sully]

Obviously a leopard have just the moment before jumped up from the gorge and caught an impala. The other impalas still close watching and alarming. The morning changed in a moment from calm and relaxed, to a electric feeling in the air. All the animals suddenly aware of the danger, and very tense. We quickly drive over to the other side of the gorge and watch as the leopard slowly strangle the impala. As we watch we can see blood (drops) flow on the impalas neck and how the light in his eyes goes out, and he dies.

 The leopard then start dragging the impala through the gorge, while we follow him and my Nikon D4 continues shooting 10 pics every second.

The leopard drags the impala into the woods and up a tree. Filled with emotions the day feels complete although it is still very early. We watch the leopard for a while relaxing under the tree with the impala safely stored in the tree. Not much more will happen here, so we go back to the buffalo herd that now is returning from their morning drink.
