During this hunting trip, the leopard chose the impala as its prey. This is considered a difficult target to eat because the antelope has a large size plus sharp horns, if it is careless it can completely get injured.
After a few minutes standing on the observation tree, the leopard waits for the impala to move to a suitable position and then swoops down to pounce on its prey.
Being attacked by surprise, the antelope immediately reacted, making it difficult for the leopard to take down its prey. However, thanks to its expert hunting experience, the leopard can still defeat this difficult prey.
