Leopard vs. the World | National Geographic


more than any big cat leopards spend
most of their time in trees it’s here
that they eat sleep even mate this
leopard is in a tree in the Polamalu
Game Reserve in Kruger National Park
South Africa the reason leverage spent
so much time in trees is because other
cats like lions cumin and because I enos
wild dogs love to steal their kills this
forces leopards to master the art of the
arboreal scrambled ever failing to know
exactly which branch will support its
weight oops Pat well almost never
failing sometimes a leopard must
maneuver himself and his dinner up a
tree the leopard has incredibly strong
neck muscles that allow it to log prey
double or triple its weight up into its
leafy home where it won’t be troubled by
scavengers and predators
you think it’s stalking and killing and
empower would be the hard part wouldn’t
you but turns out the hard part is
knowing which the lid
and after all that Rumble and
opportunistic hyena grabs the kill ok so
the hungry leopard goes out and kills
yet another empower and is trying to
drag it up to the tree another ayena
chances fine and decides to play a
little game of tug-of-war as a condor
who’ll win this struggle into this pound
for pound hyenas have the strongest jaws
in the Mala Mala gay masseur nothing is
going to make this hyena let go now live
except maybe this am a lioness
the hyena takes off and the leopard
immediately bounce upward with its kill
but the lioness decides that she has
eyes for the prize and also bounds of
the tree survival here can be a subtle
game and this time Robert has gauge that
tensile strength of the tree branches
perfectly even though the lioness is
inches from a juicy meal she knows that
she’s too heavy to climb any higher at
last the leopard gets a well-earned meal
in peace
