Caspar Siebel, a student and photographer, filmed this once-in-a-lifetime sighting during a trip in Sabi Sand, part of the Greater Kruger.
“My dad and I were the only guests on the safari vehicle, and we’d only seen birds for most of the morning’s drive. Then suddenly, a leopard with intent came walking along the road,”
“He quickly rushed across the road in full hunt mode, which brought a rush of excitement to all of us. Our guide decided to circle in the direction that the leopard was headed. After tracking him for about half an hour, we finally found him near what seemed to be a warthog’s burrow.”
“This was the perfect setting for an epic wildlife sighting, but no one knew just what we were in for… The leopard snuck around the burrow and created a commotion at an entrance opposite us. He was trying to draw them out to the entrance closest to our side, and that’s exactly what happened! The father warthog was the first to leave and darted out as quickly as he could into the bushes. This is when I pulled my phone out and started filming.”
“The piglets tried following their father but were sadly just too slow, and by the time the first had gotten out, the leopard was already there, and he quickly grabbed it. The second piglet came out too, but after seeing the leopard with its sibling in its mouth, it froze in fear.”
Leopards don’t usually risk losing their kills and would normally take to the trees as soon as they manage to catch something. This time, things were different...
“The leopard dropped his first victim, knowing it was too injured to go anywhere, and quickly grabbed the second piglet, sadly sealing its fate too. The story doesn’t end just there though, incredibly, the mother warthog, who was still in the burrow, chose the worst possible time to try and make an escape from the entrance at the back. The leopard had already immobilized both her babies and as soon as he heard her, he dropped the second piglet and quickly pounced on her too!”
“Everyone in the vehicle was completely silent for a moment; an entire family was gone. The leopard made quick work of one of the little piglets and then stashed the mother and second piglet in a nearby tree.”
“This was a very sad sighting, but it’s something I will never forget, and I feel blessed to have witnessed nature’s chaos play out in real-time.”

this is actually a pretty smart hunting technique.. i mean if other predators hear the commotion or smell the carcass he might be able to put one in his mouth and run away while the scavengers fight over the other 1 or 2

Right, leopards are a psycho killer. They show up out of nowhere and try to kill everything moves. They even attack herd of predators including lions alone and try to hurt one of them as possible and quickly run off. It killed many humans too. People in the local villages hate leopards and hunt them and if they manage to kill one they celebrated.

People need to stop using words to describe nature that humans use to describe humans.
I understand that's the way of nature but still my vegetarian self couldn't be prepared to watch it. But it's a part of how our ecosystems work and how energy moves to higher trophic levels. Still it's the most heartbreaking thing I've ever watched.

Leopards are more dangerous to human than Lion. It's because you can read a Lion as it's a social animal. Also Lion is not afraid of you. Leopard look at you as a threat and they're solitary animals. So that's zero indication of what it's going to do.
this is our beautiful wonderful earth.
Before the internet and KZread was a thing, I watched National Geographic and other nature shows on television and was always really fascinated with watching apex predators such as leopards and other big cats hunt warthogs and antelopes, crocodiles devouring zebras and wildebeasts while trying to cross because it was nature and interesting, but the older I get, the more difficult it is to watch apex predators hunt and kill. This was especially brutal to watch at this moment.
