There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Leopards and lone Hyena are not generally confrontational animals. Unlike lions, they don't have a pack to fend for them and if they're injured, their chances of survival take a dive.
Which makes this sighting all the more special: a leopard on a warthog kill defends his prize from the thieving jaws of a lone hyena.
I shot this video for the Sun Destinations lodge Africa on Foot in the Spilati region of Klaserie Private Nature Reserve.
