Unforgettable Wildlife Encounter: Leopard’s Surprising Attack on Cheetah Caught on Camera in Tanzania

Concealed by a tree, the patient leopard stalks its unsuspecting prey. Luckily, one of our clients films the moment, revealing the deadly encounter about to unfold.

 

With lightning speed, the leopard pounces, overpowering the cheetah. We swiftly adjust our position to capture this rare spectacle.

 

The shy leopard hides the cheetah’s lifeless body in the dense foliage, perhaps sensing our presence. We respect its space and leave it to its meal, unaware of what lies ahead.

 

Returning the next day, anticipation fills the air as we hope to witness the leopard’s feeding behavior. However, upon our approach, the leopard abruptly abandons its feast and disappears into the wilderness. The cheetah’s remains hang from a tree, a haunting reminder of the fierce battle that took place.

 

 

Undeterred, we persist in our quest to witness the full story, and luck favors us.

There it is, settled comfortably in another tree, showing signs of relaxation. We wait patiently, capturing every moment.

Finally, the long-awaited moment arrives. Gracefully descending from its perch, the leopard heads straight for the tree where the cheetah’s carcass lies.

Maintaining a safe distance, we ensure not to disturb the scene. And then, it happens—a sight witnessed by only a few in their lifetime.
