00:00 It is quite modest size.
00:20 They can accelerate and run at high speeds and is one of the notorious predators in the
00:25 wild.
00:26 And it is none other than the leopard.
00:30 To understand why leopards are called notorious predators, so let's find out with us now.
00:37 The moment the leopard goes hunting.
00:42 Leopards are sexually dimorphic animals.
00:44 Males are larger and heavier than females.
00:47 Their appearance is rather muscular, but relatively short limbs and a broad head.
00:53 Males are about 60 to 70 cm tall at the shoulders, while females are 57 to 64 cm tall.
01:02 They live alone in their territory, and adults only associate with each other during the
01:07 mating season, as the female continues to live with her cubs even after weaning, and
01:14 receives a prey share when the cub has not been able to capture any prey.
01:19 Leopards have a special ability to adapt, although their habitat is mainly associated
01:24 with the savannah grasslands and the tropical forests.
01:28 Physical characteristics and hunting characteristics signal the exciting hunting trips of leopards.
01:37 The leopards hunt an impala.
01:42 Seeing the impala herd walking around, the leopards rushed out to attack.
01:47 With its speed, strength and superb hunting skills, it easily captured the antelope.
01:54 Once in the hands of a leopard, in other to preserve their lives, the impala tried to
02:00 resist, but the leopard does not let their prey escape.
02:04 It struggles until the prey suffocates and dies.
02:08 Then the leopards pull its prey into a bush and happily enjoys its fruit.
02:15 Impala is a species of antelope found in Africa.
02:18 They are a sexually demorphic species with a body height between 75 to 95 cm, and the
02:25 average weight of males is about 40 to 75 kg, when females are only about 30 to 50 kg.
02:33 Despite having a larger body height than a leopard, the antelope is still terrified of
02:38 it.
02:39 Leopards are one of the four smallest cats, but in return they have a lot of advantages
02:45 in terms of strength and climbing ability.
02:49 And thanks to the power of skilled hunting abilities, the leopard defeated the impala
02:53 quickly.
02:55 Usually small prey is eaten by leopards immediately, while larger prey is dragged for more than
03:00 a few hundred meters and safely hidden in trees, bushes or even caves for later consumptions.
03:10 The leopard eats a warthog.
03:13 Leopards are relatively modest in size, about 2 meters long and weighing between 30 to 19
03:19 kg when fully grown.
03:22 Compared to other larger cats in the family, a leopard at a healthy age can run more than
03:27 60 km/h and leap more than 6 meters horizontally and jump 3 meters high, and can drive down
03:34 the prey from a tree branch and it can also hide in the water, an amazing camouflage.
03:41 Leopards are gifted with the agility and the ability to climb very well.
03:46 Meanwhile, the humpback pigs average 60 to 80 cm tall.
03:53 Weighing about 50 kg, it can be seen that with their god-given properties, warthogs
03:59 is not their opponent.
04:02 When the distance is close enough, the leopard swings, performing steps that can be said
04:06 to be flying on the ground to chase the humpback down.
04:10 With a running speed of up to 60 km/h, the wild warthog are hardly a match for the leopards.
04:18 The prey is quickly defeated in the same way that the leopard usually uses.
04:23 He was using his extremely sharp teeth to bite directly into the throat of the wild
04:27 boar, causing it to die of blood loss and suffocation.
04:31 The leopard also carefully holds hunting prey in its mouth and then waits until it is completely
04:37 dead to take its meal to the deserted place to enjoy.
04:44 Leopard hunts a wildebeest and calf.
04:47 Leopards will eat anything they catch, including squirrels, reptiles and sometimes young rhinos.
04:54 They are also willing to eat carrion if given the opportunity.
04:59 Leopards are experts in ambush hunting.
05:01 Patience, tenacity and the ability to choose the right position are key factors in a successful
05:07 hunt.
05:09 Today, leopards hunted a wildebeest baby.
05:13 Beasts do not form permanent pairing bonds and during mating or mating seasons, the male
05:18 establishes temporary territories and tries to attract females to them.
05:24 The estrous cycle is about 23 days and the gestation period lasts 250 to 260 days.
05:32 The young weigh about 21 kg at birth and limp to their feet within minutes, being able to
05:39 move with the herd soon after.
05:41 Surely, with a small and weak body, the wildebeest are no match for the leopards.
05:47 When the leopards discover the wildebeest, with the adaptiveness drawn by the years of
05:52 hunting experience, leopard slowly weaves its way through the bushes to get closer to
05:57 its prey.
05:58 It quickly observes the prey in the distance and watches for about five minutes, as it
06:03 appeared to be confused by the wildebeest's presence and behavior.
06:08 Once close to the prey, the leopard just needs to wait for the moment when the pair is caught
06:12 off guard.
06:13 It will use its powerful weapon of speed and the sharp claws to knock it down.
06:20 Finally, the leopard jumps up from the front to grab the prey's neck, as it quickly killed
06:25 the wildebeest and then pulled it into the bush under a nearby tree to enjoy.
06:31 Thus, it can be seen that thanks to the skilled hunting skills, the leopards can hunt prey
06:38 as small as insects, rodents and fish.
06:43 Even larger prey such as wild boar, bush antelope, guai and impalas.
