A leopard entered enemy territory and received a lesson

February 14, 2019

The fearsome cat visited a plot under the "control" of another leopard and discovered that he had made a decisive decision.

A young leopard has entered a foreign territory while preparing to follow a prey without ever thinking of the consequences that might ensue. The alpha feline who controlled this area found him and sneaked up to scare him.

The episode has arrived in the Kruger National Park of South Africa and was captured by the cameras of a group of researchers belonging to the park. Then these images were published in the channel Youtube, "Masai Mara and wildlife observations" and they became viral in social networks.

At the beginning of the video, you can see how the dominant leopard makes visual contact with the invader and approaches him very silently from behind. The cat "visitor" followed a prey and remained silent sitting on a path waiting for the right moment to act. The concentration used to hunt did not allow him to notice the unexpected presence.

The "local" feline decided to surprise his rival and badert his dominion over this territory. However, the reflections he showed for stealth did not have them in the attack. Although he used the surprise factor, the "visitor" was faster and reacted in time.

As can be seen from the pictures, in the fight, they attacked with their huge claws and circled in the air. Finally, the invasive leopard managed to escape and learned the precious lesson not to cross into enemy territory because, by mistake, it is almost the hunter who is hunted.

"The male leopards spend almost all their time controlling their territories, looking for rivals of the same species who are trying to conquer it," report the authors of the images.
