Not sure if I still got it right.
Just type "Unbelievable Leopard Hunt" on you tube and you should get it. If you do get it , please put it up here. It's a short 14 seconds clip. But fantastic photography.

Re: Leopard Ambushes Impala
Amazing how aerobic Leopards can be while hunting. It just managed to counteract the immense momentum of the Deer's jump with a full somersault in the air. I have seen a lot of hunts wherein a Doe is cornered by a pride and is ambushed by a waiting lioness. But, the lioness always gets wounded or at worse breaks a leg due to the hit from the bolting deer. Leopards manage to pull it off rather smoothly. They are fierce hunters.prashantsingh wrote: Just type "Unbelievable Leopard Hunt" on you tube and you should get it. If you do get it , please put it up here. It's a short 14 seconds clip.

Re: Leopard Ambushes Impala
I do not agree with the presumption that lionesses always do get hurt. The sheer size of the animal makes it sure that the animal is knocked down and the lioness takes care to ensure that the legs of the prey are at the opposite sideak27 wrote:Amazing how aerobic Leopards can be while hunting.

Re: Leopard Ambushes Impala
Wow now thats an ambush he simply used the cover and somersault was amazing...I just read that quite a few leopards are being poached in India which is really sad..How immune he was to jeep full of tourists and simply focused on its prey..there seems to be some kind of familiarity about folks wandering around there..otherwise I would except it to charge the jeep to protect its food..other amazing thing is how easily they carry their kill and climb into a tree
