Leopards are indeed black but still encounter “furry” species.

Behind the calm in the dense forests there is always a fierce struggle for survival.

A fight for survival does not simply last for a few minutes or hours, but it is a persistent struggle of all species from the moment they are born until their last breath.

Only animals strong, resilient, and ruthless enough can stand firm in this endless war.

Normally, battles between wild animals often result in large, ferocious animals with a lot of hunting experience, such as tigers, leopards, lions, hunting dogs, etc.

Among the four largest species in the cat family (tiger, lion, jaguar, leopard), although the leopard is the species with the lowest strength index, it is the top in terms of hunting rate. .

The reason is because leopards are a species with extremely intelligent and extremely effective hunting strategies.

They often hunt at low light such as dawn, after dusk or when it is completely dark. A successful hunt for a leopard is determined by the accuracy of the process of tracking, stalking and then attacking and taking down the prey. When a leopard catches its prey, it will finish it off by biting its throat to cause it to lose blood and suffocate to death.

To do that, the leopard is blessed by God with agility and the ability to climb very well. At a healthy age, a leopard can run more than 60 km/h, leap more than 6 m horizontally and jump 3 m high or create highlights by diving down on prey from tree branches. .

Although not as fond of swimming as other large leopards, such as tigers. They are agile and run at a speed of 58 km/h, although they can run at a maximum speed of up to 90 km/h if the terrain is favorable.

Additionally, it can also hide in an amazing disguise.

However, just like humans, on “bad” days, when luck turns against them, no matter how hard they try, leopards cannot get any food into their stomachs, the clip below is an example.

Nachi Mirkin, a cybersecurity analyst, witnessed an entire unlucky day of leopard hunting.

During his journey in Tshokwane, Nachi witnessed a leopard that was so hungry that he decided to take a risk. It crept closer with the intention of attacking a member of the gathering of 50 baboons.

The leopard’s recklessness and audacity left it bruised. But physical pain could not erase the agony that was screaming from its empty stomach.

Firmly holding the view that “if we lose this glue, we will show another glue”, the leopard once again tried its hand against another opponent.

This time, it discovered 3 hedgehogs (Porcupines) hiding in the water pipe so it was determined to attack.

After knocking them all away, the leopard began to attack the porcupine’s lower flesh to avoid the sharp spines. However, hedgehogs are not animals that are easily subdued. They fought back together and caused the leopard to suffer a lot of damage.

After each attempted attack, the leopard must rest to lick the wounds caused by the porcupine quills. Although the leopard is very determined for this hunt, so is its opponent.

After all, in the face of a life-and-death battle, no one wants to give up easily. In the end, the leopards had to give in and leave the hedgehogs alone.
