Leopard Predation Thread

[Luipaard]

Quite an unusual occasion of a leopard scavenging

"T-Rex Masupe was called to this rather grisly scene near Abu Camp, Botswana by two camp assistants who had been out to fetch firewood for the Abu Camp boma. Initially they thought it could have been a poaching incident because one of the kudu’s rear legs was missing, having been very neatly severed. When Rex arrived on the scene he discovered that the leg had been removed by a male leopard after following his spoor to a tree 80 metres from the scene. Two dead kudus were simply too big a meal for the leopard which had failed to unlock the antelopes."
