Confused shocked That was absolutely incredible. I've always thought leopards are natures perfect land predator. Unprecedented speed and athletic ability to take down an extremely wide range of prey.

"Leopard's 'unusual" position on a buffalo carcass while pulling on a piece of buffalo meat. The leopard did not kill the buffalo,but was apparently injured and killed by lions during the night at the Ingwe Donga on the S1. 2 Leopards came to feed on the carcass during the day."

"The male leopard that was also feeding on the buffalo carcass at Ingwe Donga. Not sure if he is the females adoloscent son as he was very submissive towards her and still seem to be very young."

"One of the most incredible sightings I have ever had. Waited 2 hours for the leopard to make its move. With unmatched patience, the leopard waited for the exact moment to make its move, no sooner and no earlier. This was taken at De la Port Dam, Kruger National Park."

Wild About The Wild:
UNUSUAL SIGHTING:


A male leopard momentarily pauses before continuing to drag his crocodile kill up the Lebombo Mountains.

Leopards are opportunistic and can hunt a very wide range of prey, from small rodents to large antelope. However, they tend to target medium-sized antelope such as impala.
