  • With a burst of speed of 65 km an hour, the Leopard without a doubt is a formidable predator. In this tense and compelling encounter, we stalk quietly alongside a Leopard as it sizes up an unsuspecting Impala, from the cover of a gully.

      Yeah, it IS kind of funny how not all of them had the instinct to run away, but that's how it is for animals.
      Often times as soon as a predator grabs an animal, the others just stand by knowing that they're potentially going to be safe after a successful hunt.
      Maybe it's their way of mourning or informing other animals that theres no need to run anymore, who knows.
      But yeah, she makes it out and they're like, "oh, nevermind!"

      @@isaactheworshipwarrior6687 it has nothing to do with mourning. basically all animals have some Kind of Head Knowledge maybe up to a Kid in elementary school. they see one predator, and he hasnt gotten one yet. and when he does..then there like well were good for today, The Leopard is gonna be full and satiated.
      like dodge Ball for Humans, we all run , then when someone is tagged we stop cause that Turn is over. same thing here kina..

    This is like in shows where they jump a guy, pull him into a closet, then come out wearing his clothes. I suspect that may actually be the leopard emerging 🤔

    How did the impala scape?
    The Leopard heard someone shout "CUT!", so she thought filming was over!

    My loyalties are always divided with these videos. I want the leopard to eat the impala but I also want the impale to get away and be safe 🤦🏻‍♀️

      Me too. I'm always hoping they catch an old animal that has lived a full and glorious life and give it a quick death. Reality is usually different, though. Half the impala young are killed by predators in their first weeks, and I've seen enough videos of wild dogs, baboons, hyenas and other predators to know it certainly isn't always a quick death. Sigh.

    I think that was a different Impala that was chillin down there and jumped out while the Leopard was busy.

    BCC earth videos are very dramatic and beautifully captured.

    *That* .... was unreal..... something totally unexpected must've happened in that gully, for such a deadly agile cat not to be able to keep hold of an impala.....
    The leopard might've been stalked by a hyena , better to let it go and hunt again ?

    Impale walks out- "I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me"
