In the wild natural world, where there are countless dangers, animals that want to survive without strength must have a mind.

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 tactics.

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, the wild natural world, like life, always has errors that can surprise even the most optimistic people. The story below is an example.

Mr. Benji Solms, tour guide at Serondella Game Lodge, was the lucky person to witness the entire incident.

Accordingly, Mr. Solms’ group was assigned the task of tracking a mother and daughter journalist couple living in the area.

After a hard night of stalking, the cheetahs hunted enough prey that they could withstand hunger for at least a few days in the hot, dry weather of South Africa.

 

That day, at the same time that the mother leopard was focusing on observing the surrounding terrain, the baby leopard was freely playing in the riverbed with no water left and the carcass of its prey.

The peaceful scene was quickly broken by the appearance of a group of small birds running back from the beginning of the river. They innocently wandered towards the area where the leopard herd was active, not knowing that danger was lurking.

At this time, the cheetah cubs were playing and discovered the stranger’s disturbance, but fortunately the young birds ran out of sight into the bushes. A young bird still crawled out to continue the game and that was when the mother leopard decided to take action.

There are many options the bird can choose to keep itself safe, but the little animal is still caught. Suddenly, the smart bird lay still and pretended to be dead.

Perhaps because he was too nervous, he was caught by the leopard again when he was just about to run away. At this time, everyone was thinking about the worst scenario that could happen.

However, the tactic of pretending to be dead is still effective. To everyone’s surprise, the little bird caught the moment the leopard lost its guard and quickly disappeared into the bushes.
