cheetah mother tries saving cub after leopard catches it
in the wilds of africa and in this whole planet felines are perhaps the most successful predators
the tiger lion lynx cheetah and leopard i could go on
the members of the cat family all possess excellent skills such as high speed
great strength agility
intelligence and this is what's helped them to get to the top of the food chain in many living areas
in the feline world the cheetah possesses incredible speed
it runs faster than any other animal on the planet
the cheetah can accelerate from zero to 59 miles per hour in just three seconds
the cheetahs can defeat any wild animal of their size
we are in kruger national park in south africa a cheetah mother and her cubs are hunting cheetahs
often target prey such as antelope rabbits wild goats and some other smaller mammals
the mother cheetah usually gives birth two to four cubs at a time
the cubs will live with their mother and learn how to survive for around 16 months
this cheetah family has had a delicious lunch
a leopard is lying down on a tall tree from here he could see everything on the vast prairie
the family of cheetahs hunting prey has gotten it excited leopards have a smaller body size
than cheetahs however the leopard's strength and intelligence gives it the confidence to confront
more than just one cheetah the family of cheetahs quickly discovered a stranger sneaking up on
them from the distance the mother cheater moves forward to probe while the cubs guard the prey
the appearance of the leopard made the cubs panic and run away then the mother
cheater despite trying to protect her food eventually runs away from the lone leopard
the leopard then happily leaves with its prey which he did not even have to hunt for
leopards carry their prey up a tree away from other predators
such as hyenas and lions and then enjoy their meal
the leopard's ability to climb is what sets it apart from the other big cats in the wild
cohabitating in the grasslands of africa competition for territory and prey
is inevitable for leopards and cheaters
however the two usually don't want to get into a fight
they normally probe each other and then usually leave in peace
however it does not always happen like that occasionally adult cheaters will attack leopards
their superior body size gives cheaters the upper hand in the battles and in a chase truly
cheaters can easily overtake leopards and that makes leopards feel threatened however
fighting one-on-one with an adult cheater is not a good idea
it switched its target to the smaller cheeks up this slight predator has a plan
at kruger national park it was a hot and sunny
a day hunts while a mother cheetah and her two cubs are playing in the riverbank
suddenly from the bushes leopards appeared and rushed to attack injuring the small cheetah
the mother cheater tries to fight back and save her cubs but she is no match for the leopard
she was chased away by the enemy and had to run into the bushes the mother cheetah sat there and
watched her cubs attentively then the leopard left the cup to hunt in the scorching heat and went to
rest in the bushes just behind the injured little animal the cub is exhausted he tried to get up and
run away but failed finally the leopard reappears kills the cub and drags it into the bushes
the mother and the remaining cubs do not go far
they spend the afternoon trying to find the missing cub
next morning they were still found by the river near the place where the cub was killed
three days later the cheetah mother and cub still seems to be grieving the loss
the war between leopards and cheetahs will never stop unless one of them disappears
from the grasslands of africa between climbing skills and speed which skill do you value more
