A leopard walks towards a herd of humped pigs in Masai Mara National Park, South Africa. When the time is right, it rushes forward, causing the pigs to flee.
The target of the leopard is one of the newborn cubs, because the animal is not strong enough to fight back, as well as to escape in time after being separated from the herd.
Leopards don’t have much trouble catching up and lifting their prey with their teeth. However, it understands that now is the time to run away, as the mother pig is speeding back to rescue the cubs.
The mother hump tried her best to catch up with the predator, but the difference in speed was too great. The leopard found a large tree trunk, and jumped up with just a few jumps, narrowly escaping.

Leopards always take advantage of their speed and climbing ability to escape dangerous situations
The feature of leopards is that they are very good at climbing, and can jump up to 3 meters high. Thanks to this advantage, they often actively retreat up the tree before direct attack from other animals.
Also thanks to the ability to climb that leopards have the ability to hunt primates such as monkeys, gibbons … or some birds when they have the opportunity.
