This was absolutely fantastic to watch. Premium documentary clips from BBC! That snowleopards chase in the end was spectacular...! Never seen anything like it.
Its amazing how all animals have different personalities, like leopards are solitary and elusive whereas lions are very social and hunt as a team. Makes you wonder how all this came to be and how nothing is arbitrary
I have theories myself, leopards tend to take after jaguars and tigers in nature. Tigers dominate their environments, have incredible jumping abilities, and are great swimmers so they are powerful solo hunters that hide in forests and grasslands to stalk prey. Prides would never work for them due to their unique abilities and the fact that it might impede their abilities to hide their presence. Lions on the other hand formed prides and are the only cats to do so.......I think the reason is it greatly benefits them on the open planes where teamwork is greatly needed to secure food (because large buffalo can maim lions) and a pride of lions even took down a giraffe before (but would not stand a chance alone). They needed groups to defend themselves against other group predators like hyenas and wild dogs, which all makes sense when you think about the rivalries between them. I guess leopards on the other hand who are smaller, more agile, and climb well don't benefit from groups as much because they are great solo hunters and faster. They are able to get prey that can climb and they can escape any bigger predator by getting out of reach. Lions have to cover the ground so the prides make sense in such an environment. My theory is if lions were either better climbers or in a different environment (like forests), they would more likely be solitary hunters as well. Only Africa with its unique landscape and some of the most dangerous herbivores on the planet has a cat that hunts in prides. It would also be impractical for a group of leopards to all run into trees like monkeys or something, so instead they occupy different territories and learn their environments well.
When I heard leopards be called solitary I didn't realise the extent until recently in a documentary. They pretty much flee the scene before any confrontation can ever happen they really don't like other animals, they'll abandon a kill in the tree's if baboons and birds are making alert calls and causing to much stress just to come back later when ots quiet to eat.
Hearing all these snowflakes claiming they're all for saving impalas ",omg a big cat caught its prey, how awful, we must save the impala" makes me wanna puke! 🤦🏼♀️
If we don't start to make an effort with climate change, it will be very difficult for it not to happen....I just read how lots of zebra, elephant and wildebeast are dying in Kenya because of the drought.
I can't imagine the stress of being a prey animal. Never able to completely relax or sleep for very long at one time. On the other hand, prey animals seem to be able to eat constantly, while predators may have to go hungry for a while. I guess there are trade-offs.
The prey _wouldn't exist_ without the predator. The swift, agile, beautifully camouflaged form of herbivores like the impala serves one purpose - avoiding been eaten by carnivores. And herbivores left unchecked decimate their environment. it's all very paradoxical when you think about it.
@@66hoodwitch They do feel stress, just not the typical stress that lingers like in humans. They will get stressed while they are in the situation, but when they get away the stress will disappear. They won't stress about future events, just the ones they are in. Dogs are the same way - take them to a vets office and they'll become stressed. Which is shown as panting, and their heart-rate will rise. I mean even alligators and crocodiles can die from stress, and going into shock due to stress.
15:14 where the snow leopard is taking a seemingly more circuitous route seems like a good explanation for why snow leopards return to their home hill even though they are known to venture out hundreds of miles on occasion: they know their home hills like the back of their hands, or paws if you will, and that’s a significant survival advantage.
As the leopard's hunting technique is to either ambush its prey or to stalk it. In either instance, it tries to get as close as possible to its target. It then makes a brief and explosive charge (up to 60km/h), pouncing on its prey and dispatching it with a bite to the neck suffocate it prey to death.
Can't remember the last time I saw a proper successful hunt by a big cat in a BBC show. And I have specifically looked for it. Is this a deliberate decision?

That gave me anxiety. 🤪

YES...I WAS WISHING FOR THE LITTLE ONE'S LIFE...THANKS GOD HE JUMPED INTO WATERS....
I love how long the snow leopard's tail was, and how it just ever so slightly hovered above the ground when she walked.
Each and every mother in this clip deserves a bow from bottom of our heart

Exhilarating to watch a beautiful Leopard in action! WOW!
Hi
An amazing footage following a stealthy predator without disturbing the entire scene. Patience paid off!
13:30 The beauty of the snow leopard combined with the sudden onset of the hauntingly melancholic music caught me bumping goose.

@@EliteRock Yeah too many herbivores will eat all the food and starve to death. This happened when rabbits went unchecked on some farmlands.
They dont feel stress ! You do...🤦🏼♀️

Imagine being _both_ at the same time because you're a mid level predator.

Not enough said the editor batallion. Beautiful!

Its incredibe to watch how the leopards approach their prey in a hunt.
I LOVE leopards PERIOD but Snow leopards are absolutely gorgeous 🐆❤😍 😻
They are, but they're not related to Leopards. Snow Leopards are closer to Tigers than they are to true Leopards.
