Half-Tail was fascinating to watch. Her life and survival skills were second to none. It was very sad to find out about her passing but the memories will live on. RIP Half-Tail 🙏❤️
Very sad. A comment from 11 years ago said Half tails daughter Shadow (as you know is ok this video) was still living at 15 years of age. Of course she would be dead now because she'd at least be 26 yes old but it's good to see Half tails legacy lived through Shadow for even longer than her own life because of how she reared/raised her. RIP to them both. Wonderful creatures.
Awesome video; great story. Lady leopard is real royalty in the animal kingdom. She climbs that tree with a 50 lb impala carcass in her mouth. She loves her cubs, and they surely learn self reliance and solitary survival skill toward integral autonomy. A fine lesson in positive application and configuration of an individual's physics, emotion, and savvy to life challenges.
wow - never seen or heard of a cheetah draggin its prey up a tree! And a big ass gazelle at that! Ive seen plenty of these kinds of videos and this is new to me.
LOL! that little fox got a free meal. the leopards caught the baby antelope and forgot about the mother antelope that she caught. LOL she left the big one for that little fox.
Wow, 6th litter! That old female leopard must be like 13-14 years old. Notice the young female leopard simply bit the impala fawn in the back of the neck after catching it, and that paralyzed the fawn instantly.
leopards weigh half as much as human super athletes and yet even at the end of her age, that old leopard took that humongous dear up that tree like she was climbing a ladder holding only a bagpack in her mouth. that's just insane
This is an episode of the BIG CAT DIARY BBC series, narrated here by Simon King. Following ZAWADI/SHADOW, a female leopard star of the series. This beautiful female, is now 15 years old, still alive, living in the Masai Mara NP, and still healthy, in good shape and was still seen mating by some visitors and rangers. She's still a wonderful cat, and a living leopard legend of the Masai Mara.
I think its wrong for you to call me a monster ,its only a few of the captive bred ones that would be used for the fur coat and its better than someone freezing.
Maybe the narrator could have said at 0:26, " Shadow is walking a long distance, and is really hungry. Fortunately, she notices this lone zebra in her territory, and Shadow then decides this is the animal she wants to eat". Then at 1:08, let's say Shadow really killed the zebra, the narrator would have said "It was a quick kill. Shadow has defied the odds. Her surprise and stealth paid off, and now Shadow gets to eat." Additionally, the clip would also show Shadow guarding her striped carcass, before proceeding to feed. The narrator sounded confident that Shadow would kill and eat the zebra.
The description of this video says, "The crew tell the story of a young adult CHEETAH and her mother." I'm fairly sure they are leopards. Even if I couldn't tell the difference, the video only mentions it 3 or 4 dozen times.
There are three types of zebras: Burchell's zebras, Grevy's zebras, and mountain zebras. Burchell's zebras are found in the rich grasslands of Eastern and Southern Africa. Grevy's zebras live on dry, sparsely wooded plains and low hills in parts of Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia. Mountain zebras inhabit Namibia and a few areas in western South Africa. Both Grevy's and mountain zebras are endangered.
It's amazing how they can lift prey 3x their size up into a tree with just their jaws and claws.
3 time size fake
×1.5 time size
R.I.P Half-Tale and her beautiful cubs

Video was 12 yrs ago!
The Leopard specie is without a doubt my favorite. Leopards ability is superb to all other cats. They can literally do it all!
They are my favorite too. Then the Cheetah and Puma.
R.I.P Half Tail, i remember i was just a child watching Big Cat Diary and learning her story.. Hope her generation continues to live on 😢
Same. This just crushed me. 💔😢

that leopard was dam quick! amazing how the cameramen are always in the right place to catch the action!
Wrong, cameramen are like these awesome hunters, they miss more than they hit!!!
I didn't realize I was replying to an eleven year old post!!!!!
R.I.P. TO HALFTAIL, WE MISS YOU BABYGIRL.
big cat diary has some amazing family stories i love it :)
i didnt know they were that strong and knew how to climb trees... amazing
Wonderful pictures. This is the real wildlife.
Thanks for sharing.

These cats move so fast and swift. Nature surely has its own way of making each specie survive.
wow - never seen or heard of a cheetah draggin its prey up a tree! And a big ass gazelle at that! Ive seen plenty of these kinds of videos and this is new to me.
Wow Halftail was fertile as they come. Six litters and still having healthy Cubs as senior citizen. She was something...
halftale was amazing bless her heart and i hope she pasted away naturaly R.I.P halftale
I was impressed with that power she took her prey up the tree. Wow.
This was a good video! Even though it has been so long, I love it! Thanks
aww my older cat Alpha meows like the cubs at 1:48 lmao so cute
Wow,, he caught that fawn with amazing ease. Leopards are amazing, they way they haul there kill up a tree like that.
LOL! that little fox got a free meal. the leopards caught the baby antelope and forgot about the mother antelope that she caught. LOL she left the big one for that little fox.
R.I.P. Absolutely beautiful animals... thanks for posting:)
this animals have the most beautiful coats ever
Oh, Shadow as a young leopard! I used to watch Big Cat Diaries all the time growing up, but we don't own a TV anymore, so yeah :P
2:08 this is why leopards are the most badass cats in the wild
What's even better than the shitting on the tree is the zebra's reactions like "Dis bitch.."
Also, thank goodness Cinderella lost one of her shoes for the Prince Charming to go look for her.
a cheetah has a slimmer body and it makes a chirping noise instead of a roar. cheetahs have a black line down each eye.
zebra: (0:06 - 0:11)
*TO SELF* "if I dont move, then maybe he wont see me. Statue mode....NOW"
HAHAHAHA!!!
R.I.P half tail a dher cubs. miss you all.
When the leopard walks I can't stop looking at his bones moving up and down when he walks...
Came to see a leapord kill a zebra. I'm dissapointed
Wow, 6th litter! That old female leopard must be like 13-14 years old.
Notice the young female leopard simply bit the impala fawn in the back of the neck after catching it, and that paralyzed the fawn instantly.
That jackel just got the best meal of its life :)
NOOOOO NOT HALFTAIL!!!
I love leopards! ♥♥
yeah they dive at up to 200mph...basically knocking the wind and feathers out of the pigeon they are after..lol
that shadow is a badass.
I LIKE THIS TYPE OF ANIMALS
lol at 0:10 the Zebra's looking at them like: "What you lookin at fool?!"
2:34
Leopard:HEEEEEY WHERE YOU GOIN AT HUH?
Gazelle:OH SHIT IM DEAD
Leopard:U THINK YOU ARE FASTER THAN ME?
"a young adult cheetah"
Where????
At 0:06 there should be sudden horror music with a couple of fast zoom in on the zebra
leopards weigh half as much as human super athletes and yet even at the end of her age, that old leopard took that humongous dear up that tree like she was climbing a ladder holding only a bagpack in her mouth. that's just insane

LOL at 0:06 the Zebra in the background was like *Dafuq i just saw*
Halftail looked like she needed a well deserved retirement
"She has mastered a leopard skill"
Roberto: "What?"
Comm: "Stealth"
Roberto: "Oh"
lol
Beautiful animals. Great video!
It takes that zebra a solid 10 seconds to notice the leopard.
Leopards are awersome!
1:10 " Ahahahaha you got me, you got me that was a good one! Whew you really scared me."
lol at first..the first part of the video..it looks like the dam zebra was stalking the leopard....LOL
LOL
RIP Half Tail
LOL
the cheetah ran out of cloak in the beginning
