Leopard Predation Thread

This video is awesomeee and amaaazzzinnngg....
Leopard: That small baby warthog was like a bullet, and made the leopard completely exhausted to stop chasing. The small baboon (yellow baboon?) was adorable and in the video, leopard didn't show much interest and played with that infant baboon (may be ate after sometime). Lion: I know that this is Leopard predation thread. but this video is a mix of three predators but the starting part is about leopard. Hence posted here. That Lioness pride taking down bull buffaloes is unbelievable and those lionesses are large, I don't which reserve they are from. Particularly, the one eyed lioness is insanely big as a male lion and looking badass even evil boss. I think it is a matriarchal pride headed by that one eyes lioness (one eye is blinded with white layer covering) and male lions are not there in the pride. Cheetah: The cheetah caught an antelope but struggled to bring that down for some time after that it left the antelope which is injured pretty badly. I wondered why? Then came a pack of african wild dogs, hence, cheetah just ran away swiftly of fear. Then, they just destroyed that antelope in seconds. https://www.facebook.com/TopWildAnimals/...0MjUyODYw/

Spotty dada is back. This male leopard is definitely the boldest leopard that I have seen in Ranthambhore National Park. Found him today morning feeding on a Sambar deer carcass near a waterhole  *This image is copyright of its original author
Can someone confirm whether this was a Persian Leopard kill?

From about 1:08 to 1:55 is most impressive part of this video. Quite agile "cat".
 *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Capturing a problematic leopard in Iran-Turkmenistan Borderland Since August 2014, a leopard was known to attack domestic animals near a village, named as Tazeh Ghaleh in northeastern Iran. Located just a few kilometers from Turkmenistan border, the village is surrounded by rolling terrains with juniper trees sparsely distributed on slopes within Kopet Dagh region, one of global high biodiversity hotspots. Between midAugust and mid-December 2014, the leopard killed 15 herd dogs, which is equal to one animal per each 8 days. During summer, small livestock such as sheep and goat were mainly killed, because most of the local herds spent overnight in the pastures. Since October, most herds concentrated their daily grazing around the village and kept their animals within properly-built corrals inside the village during nighttime. So, the leopard switched its depredation from livestock to dogs. Moreover, the leopard attacked three persons when they tried to approach it on the kill. Thus, the people were frightened and avoided to leave their houses overnight. In October 2014, they reported the situation to the local authorities, seeking for a solution to stop losing the animals. Thus, Iran Department of Environment’s experts tried to apply a variety of methods to resolve the problem through keeping the leopard away from the village. Besides provision of necessary information, particularly with respect to encountering a leopard in the wild, they tried to make fire around the village, turning gunpowder around high risk places, aerial shooting to frighten the leopard, all seemingly not efficient to stop the leopard from killing dogs. Thus, translocation was considered in December 2014 as the final resolution which was based on the DoE’s initial perception that it is a young “inexperienced” male. We deployed foot-snares and captured the leopard. Its teeth were yellow with wellworn canines and incisors. Most of lower incisors were missing, revealing that it is an old adult leopard, estimating between 10 and 15 years. Accordingly, it was concluded that instead fitting the leopard with a GPS collar for translocation to a nearby reserve, the leopard needs intensive veterinary care and treatment, if any chance of re-wilding is sought. Therefore, the leopard was translocated to Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Tehran for further maintenance and treatment. https://www.wildcru.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Persian-Leopard-Project-Annual-Report-2014.pdf  *This image is copyright of its original author http://www.conservationleadershipprogramme.org/media/2014/11/000306_Iran_FinalReport_PersianLeopard.pdf The Return of the Fishing Cat, Savute, Botswana! * A cracking shot by @rememberingwildlife contributor @jamesgiff * 
@Sanju :
About #318: sorry, but I just come to discover your video which concerns leopard, but also lion and cheetah predation. As concerns the question you asked, the second part (the lions pride) happened inside the Okavango Delta in Botswana, an inland delta at the Botswana north. One of the seven natural wonders in Africa and inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage list. Here is the wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okavango_Delta And yes these lions seem healthy ! It's the only place in Africa in which one they are familiar with the water. When the delta plain is flooded, the hunting scenes occured as much in the water than on the ground. As concerns the leopard and the baboon cub I believe to recognize the Derek Joubert's voice, one of the most eminent filmakers of the wildlife in Africa. Here is the National Geographic link: https://www.nationalgeographic.org/find-...ly-joubert
