This rare and exciting sighting was filmed by Kayla du Toit, 18-year-old university student, while on a drive with Tamsyn du Toit, guide from Foxy Crocodile Bush Retreat. What’s great about this sighting was that it was shared in real-time on our WhatsApp group (chat.whatsapp.com/EKjgrVdX26y..., so anyone in the area could have seen this!
Kayla tells LatestSightings.com the story of how this sighting unfolded:
“We drove in as soon as the gates opened at 5:30, but it was a quiet morning. We hadn't seen much for around an hour.
But, in the wild, anything can happen! All of a sudden my sister (our guide from Foxy Crocodile Bush Retreat) spotted a leopard scent marking next to us, just on the side of the road.”
“We followed it at a distance down the road and we saw it kept looking to the left into the bush, but, we just figured it was looking at antelope or hearing other noises. Eventually, we also decided to look to the left and we saw a lioness walking towards the leopard and going into a stalking position! The lioness walked all the way through to the leopard, and we just heard a loud roar and then they fought each other, it was very quick, and the leopard ran away quickly afterward.”
“We could not contain our excitement! Seeing a leopard so close is always so exciting and rare, so you can imagine how much more excited we got when we spotted the lion approaching the leopard. Just to see 2 of these amazing animals at the same time and then to see such a rare interaction was truly amazing and one of the best feelings ever!
I will never forget that moment and the feelings I felt, my heart beating insanely fast wondering what was going to happen and my hands shaking while taking the video, trying to watch and capture this moment at the same time. I was truly grateful after witnessing a once in a lifetime sighting.”
“The leopard ran off after the fight and we lost visual, the lioness continued to walk in the road for about 50m then disappeared into the bush on the opposite side of the road to where the leopard went, but, we could not find the leopard again nor the lion. For anyone who gets to have a rare sighting like this, always have patience, enjoy the moment, keep a distance so that you don’t scare the animals or ruin a certain interaction that may happen, switch the car off and take it all in from a respectable distance.”

LION : WHERES MY MONEY FRANK ? !
LEOPARD : STEVE I TOLD YOU TUESDAY , TUESDAY ‼️

It is not the first time that I see a lion who tries to attack a leopard. But nearly every time the leopard can defend himself and then run. Respect.
..not with a male lion, which can kill a leopard in seconds. There are videos of exactly that on TH-cam.
@@stevepfi1 are you living in a dream world?🤣🤣🤣
@@VerminCrusher3010 you implying that if the leopard got caught it is not gonna be a bad day for it?
@@Karthic_Thiyan Lions indeed reported to kill leopards idk what's funny?
@@Karthic_Thiyan you are living in a dream if you think leopard survives being caugh by lion if the lion gets ahold of anything hyena , leopard , cheetah dog they are toast simple as that
I'm more amazed at the fact that the human spotted the lion before the leopard did.
It is probably because of the direction of the wind, the leopard could not smell the lion but the lion could smell the leopard.
That loud ass vehicle...
human had the height advantage.
Human was afar watching the situation
They have 🎥
In case people are wondering what the noise is, those were the baboons. They give those sounds as warning when they spot a Leopard below knowing that they can climb trees
Thanks man! I was looking for this comment! I was thinking it's a monkey warning, they made similar sounds in India :)
The leopards eats for breakfast the babbons stupid
I'm sure that warning goes for any predators, baboons spend most of their time on the ground.
@@lucinopasquali0079 No dick face its called research Baboon calls. They give distinct calls when they are in trees and see Leopard or other predators. Read a Book
@@Lazy_Prophet well duh. The Leopard is just ONE of many quadruped predators in Africa Captain Obvious lmao. And they obviously make the calls from the trees because they are not trying to be eaten 🤦🏿♂️ you guys cant be this stupid lmao.
That wasn't an attack, just a friendly kitty to kitty high 5 😂
hahahaha
Territorial... like CCP wanting America land to take away our bread basket and not for their pheasants..they can starve unless they are organ donner slaves.
😂 Hi dizzy!
@@ShenziBuni 😁😂 hello shenzi

Although leopards are smaller and weaker than lions, I'm always fascinated on how well they can put up a fight and defend themselves.
Leopards take amphetimines.
In terms of "Agile" Leopard is the King... He can Literally jump from a tree to another hunting monkeys. "Speed" is cheetah, "Strenght" is Tiger, "Bite Force" is Onça Pintada/Jaguar. Lion is kind of a mix.
@@sasukebyak Bite force king is still tiger, although jaguars win pound for pound.
@Josue Santiago >>> Lions are just boss... They're not pussies. They fight till death. That's just it.
@Josue Santiago Nope. "The jaguar has the strongest bite of any big cat relative to its size.". But it's much smaller.
However, given that jaguars are considerably smaller (the body mass of the individual in the study was only half that of the tiger), relatively speaking their bite is stronger.
“If you had to choose, you’d want to be bitten by a jaguar, not a lion or a tiger. But pound for pound, jaguars pack a stronger punch,” says Adam.

Even cats fear getting scratched by cats.

@@Dr.Balasubramanian is this your channel?
@@Dr.Balasubramanian If you want to see lions, check out my ancient world map for Age of Empires 1 where you can hunt lions and eat their raw flesh to produce more male villagers.
It's tough to be an animal in the wild! You have to be hypervigilant, because your life is always in danger.
Just like living in New York City haha
@@neoreign LOL! True! LOL!
In any big city too
Not a serious attack, more of a " get outta here."

@@leomnis4087 LARGE CRORODILE ? NO ..CROCS R NOT AT THEIR BEST ON LAND
BUT TIGERS R KNOWN TO ATTACK BIG CROCS ON LAND,,
SO TIGER>LION
@@harshitpatnaik6381 Yes large crocodile . Lions are born fighter . Tigers are not good fighter .
Male leopard and female lion too
If it was a hyena I'm pretty sure the lioness would have attacked it. I mean, I know the lioness can also kill the leopard but it doesn't worth it getting the claws in her face lol, plus they are both cats so they kinda have the same body language, a hyena would have just run away instead of confronting like the leopard did
Leopard : Why do I hear boss music ??
@@Dr.Balasubramanian Stop spamming your shit. This is the 3rd time I've seen it here.
What is boss music ?
That's actually an amazing defense from the leopard, he pushed lionesses paws down, giving him opportunity to escape, fantastic animals. Thanks for the great video.
Underrated Comment
Only because the lioness didnt want to engage the leopard. If her cubs were around the leopard would have been dead!
@@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl badly injured but not dead.
@@kingdinogorilla3618 Dead as dead
@@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl nah.
Lioness: Surprise... Merry Christmas!
Leopard: Ok, ok... Merry Christmas goodbye!
😂😂😂
Damn! I never imagined that leopard looked so small in the face of lion...hhh
That's not even a large lion...you should see the males roaming around in maasai mara kenya ..very huge
@@Sparxx74 ueah
@@Sparxx74 If that’s a male Leopard, it’s one of the smallest I’ve ever seen. They get much bigger than this. MUCH bigger. (The Anderson male for example).
@@firedrake7663 Looks like a female, if it's a female, it sure is a big one.
@@firedrake7663 Anderson male was abnormally large for a leopard. They aren’t terribly big cats, isn’t it fairly rare for a male to top 200 lbs?
Wow, the size difference between these two is remarkable. Stay safe beautiful leopard. Awesome sighting Kruger, thank you.
That leopard 🐆 looked like a baby even compared to a female lion
@@And1one757 cuz that leopard was young female , adult leopard can give tough competition to adult lioness
@@Annihilatr_ Adult leopards are half the size of lions and are no competition to lions and if you have not noticed, that leopard was scent marking indicating an adult territorial leopard
@@And1one757 Yes I agree. 👍
@@ross_spirou_photography A large male leopard can be two-thirds the lioness' size. A huge specimen (like Mr.Anderson from Greater Kruger) can be nearly as big as an average lioness. In that case you're talking about a massive 100kg male leopard compared to an average 120kg lioness. The lioness will still be heavier, but the leopard would pack more muscles.
It’s amazing how in every lion-leopard encounter you can see clearly that the lion -despite attacking- does it’s best not to get even touched by the leopard claws!
That’s because a skilled enough leopard can injure or (although very rarely) kill them.
@@kaydenchan7093 Leopard bite is stronger then lion and leopard are solo while lions have prides up to a dozen or more
This lioness made that leopard look tiny Neither wanted to fight tho the lioness was down if it came to it Lioness are probably the best hunters on the planet while male lion take credit as king of the jungle
And imagine this is just a female lion. A male is also bigger!
@@kaydenchan7093 NO, a leopard can't kill a lioness in a fair fight! The leopard would get injured WORSE. There's a difference between winning a fight against several lionesses and merely SURVIVING against them. You leopard fans need to know the difference. A single lioness is more than a match for a leopard.
@@Rizik1986 No, it's not. The bite force of tiger, hyena, and lion are around the same (1,000 psi) and again, a single lioness is bigger and stronger than a male leopard.
The size difference between the lioness and leopard was eye opening. But I'm glad Spot escaped with his life.
should of paid toll tax
Yeah, I spotted that to
Just a normal kitty to kitty encounter 😃.. I am beginning to think, this is the best channel on the planet :)
I may have to agree with you.
This channel shows you the natural habits of wildlife, even when it's not nice, eg the leopard & crocodile.
Poor little leopard, then again the croc' as to eat, and the leopard was killing an impala earlier that day.
@@wildnfree101 was not a leopard .was a year old cheetah cub
@@fillfinish7302 go to clinic and check your eye🤦♂️
@@fillfinish7302 Thx for the correction, either way it was sad to watch, and you know which one I mean. Have a good day
@@wildnfree101 yup and the fact that they don’t make it dramatic .. and don’t use dumb click baits, its a pure pleasure watching these vids :)
man, lions are pretty damn agile. You see that mid jump pirouette to avoid the leopards claws to the forelegs. nice.
@@Dr.Balasubramanian Stfu
@@Dr.Balasubramanian if you keep spamming this, you'll be the one crying.
you knw wat..lion have less agility from top 4 cat ..but they have better endurance.
The lion's agility? How about the leopard altering it's strike to catch the lion's paw mid swipe to throw it off balance? Completely threw off the lion's attack and gave the leopard a better window to escape.
In fact if you slow it down to .25 and use the start/pause to go frame by frame it looks like the lion was also winding up for a swipe with its left paw when the leopard knocked its right one under its body right before it ran.
@@mkn5165 Yes, they are not elastic animals, they are not agile, but this makes for their roboustness and endurance
Lioness: Hey don't steal my show! Get off the ramp!
Leopard: Alright alright, am just the maintenance guy!
Lioness: U can't walk this road, it's Kings highway!!!
Leopard: I didn't know that my lady! Never again, Ciao!.
@@Dr.Balasubramanian When they works together, they r Unstopable!!.
Silly young lioness, playing more than anything else. Poor leopard got a right good fright, though!
if there was a male lion then the result will be different
@@KINGKING-oz6ey
I think the leopard would notice him and run, like in this encounter
th-cam.com/video/X9p56wSzsPA/w-d-xo.html (title is “Male lion stalks & attacks leopard)
It's just another ordinary day for both!! The Savannah routine!.
@@evehellod9776 May b u r right but in this it looks like the lion didn't want to kill him, just wanted to scare him away
@negro bsr u r right but the lion also risks his life to protect his territory and you know that in the end, only the strongest wins
This video really shows the size difference nicely between the two
It's incredible to see the size difference!
And male lion is duble the size of the lioness 😂
@@user-Void-Star and Siberian Tiger is bigger than male lion
@@chanlovebaek614 in siberia lol...🤦♂️
Youll never see them in the wild together
@@user-Void-Star me
I have a feeling these two have met a few times before. That leopard was brave. Nice video. Merry Christmas to ya'll
He squared up for a second then was just like "NOPE!" and dipped.
He swiped the lioness right paw under, threw her off balance mid air and used that window to escape.
That was super impressive

This channel has so many rare footages !
Lion (covid-19): hey pal, give me a hug
Leopard (people): RUN......
Leopard- 🗣"I Need Six Feet !!!!"
My friend hold this camera,you are making me move my phone left & right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amazing how he sensed that lioness way before she was in sight of the camera! 😱
smell.
_Imagine having the opportunity of a lifetime to film an encounter between a leopard and a lion and can't seem to keep the camera steady for a few seconds_
I guess for a non photography skilled person, this is more than enough.
Oh come on
Imagine being grateful for once because these people are sharing their risky and costly experience to you without charge
At least we saw everything important.
The more you zoom in, the more noticeable a small movement of the camera is. Can't be helped.
Lioness : Hey ! How you doing ?..long time no see !
Leopard : I'm okay ...
RUNS AWAY SCARED
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lion - "Surprise."
Leopard - " You totally got me bro, or did you!?"

I LOVE the defensive moves of this wild cat!
You know.
2:10 Lion: Hit the road Jack!
Leopard: I will! I will! lmao
clever cat, the lioness reached high speed, if he runs away he wouldn't be fast enough to flee, but he stood and stopped her in that way so he runs in a good time
The lioness just wanted to be the designated tour guide.
Lol
The lioness must have been downwind. The leopard was totally surprised.
Only JESUS CHRIST can save your soul from the flames of hell!
I am the flames of hell and I know where you live.
Amazing! I really enjoyed to watch this video... Thumbs Up👍👍👍
Piet my vrou! Nicely setting the soundtrack there and the boo boos "baboons" not too happy at the end hearing the cats at "play" . Nice video!
Leopard put his paws up like "I don't want no problems!!!" And scrambled up outta there 😂😂😂!!
The leopard did the right thing.
Instead of running first, it stood up first.
This stopped the lion's momentum.
And only then did the leopard run.
Leopard: "why do I here boss music ? "
Lioness: Damn, I thought that was a gazelle.
Leopard: (run)
Lion: what?? I'am just wanna play with you
“Hey, you. Get out of my territory.”
Leopard: "STOP! Watch, a delicious warthog meat!".
Lioness: "What? Where??".
Leopard: "Byeeee".
Lioness: "You little bastard!!". 🤣
Nothing more adorable to lions than a leopard marking territory 😂😂😂
That leopard shouldn’t have been marking the road as his territory as it clearly belongs to the lioness’s pride.
Alternative title: Lion almost gave a leopard a heart attack
Leopard : I am the king !!
Lion : lemme me show u who's the king 😏
Also lion : Meow !! 😹
Notice how the leopard slaps away the front leg of the lioness. It prevented the lioness from launching an immediate attack.
great observation.. the lioness had to move sideways defensively and that perhaps was the difference between life and death for that leopard
Lion telling the leopard get off my lawn!
If a Leopard was the same size as the Lion, the Lion would be scared and would run away lol
This is not a leopard, it is a cheetah
@@mattsickboy2662 It's a Leopard, if you think it's a Cheetah than look again.. Cheetah are my favorite animal so I would know.
i just love how deep the leopards voice is.
"Doggonit, I wanted to snag me some cat food today," snorts disgruntled lioness.
Awesome sighting.
Not a fight, it was kitty cat patty cake. The camera work was terrible.
My personal fav from this channel, incredible capture
🤣🤣 I was eagerly waiting for a big fight only to be disappointed at last
Lions & lioness are far stronger, but fact Leapords are NINJAS, supreme killing machine.
Lion: This road is not big enough for two of us
Lion was like "Tag!.....you're it".....Leopard was like "Jesus Christ !....where the f*ck did you came from....You scared the sh!t outta me!...." Baboon was like "Hahaha!...the leopard sh!t his pants!...."
Lion: "Damn, I thought that was something I could eat".
Lioness was lactating so she definitely to wanted to get leopard out of the area. However, she would still go at the leopard even if she wasn’t. Really enjoyed this one. Got to see both my favorite kitties and no harm done.
You mean she had cubs ?
@@rishirajsaikia1323 she was lactating so she has cubs somewhere not necessarily around there. 😀
I'm not sure what kind of move that lioness did when it attacked, but it was kinda cute. It almost seems like they've met before, and understand each other.
Lion was like "I told you let me catch you slippin and lurkin round these parts, im a put my paws on ya!" Hahahahaha seriously though I thought this was going to be one of those poorly edited fake videos for click bait but was very pleased!
I think they were just fighting over CAMERA time.. 📸 😂 😂 😂
Sometimes attack is the best defence, there wasnt no time to run, so the brave leopard took the ofensive!! Good job Mr Leopard!!
Small female leopard
@@simontaylor3275 So?
When you finally catch up to someone that owes you money . They dip saying they'll pay you back later.

I'm thinking here. The guys who built this asphalt in this reserve must have been shitting out of their minds .. hahaha
“It’s just a prank, bro!”
walking like a boss on the road “ anyone want some huh ??!!!
Lion : Go home before I call your mother Mike
Leopard : yes ma'am
Lion : damn kids
Lion was smart. He knew there is no point to run behind leopard to give catch a try...😂😂
Who were the brave people that build that road. Must of been dangerous and scary as hell
Next time please edit-out those dizzy back and forth, jumpy camera shots.
If not for us: at least for yourself, you know, to look better when you post something! 😉🤙
Look at the agility of these big cats...just sublime!
One day I am going to go to Kruger.
I hope!! Let us know when you've booked!
If you are lucky you will see a lion or cheetah or a leopard ..... these encounters between the two are very rare .... and much more rare if documented . What you see here are lucky shots of a lifetime ..... i have been about 20 times x 6 days in KTP and you really have to get lucky.
@@furiousdoe7779 Kruger is good, very commercialised and developed, if you want GREAT game viewing I'd suggest the Okavango delta and Chobe in Botswana and the Serengeti, Masai Mara and Ngorongoro crater national parks in Kenya and Tanzania, home to the great migration of cloven hoofed game (blue/black wildebeest, antelope and zebra) between the two parks (Serengeti and Mara) along the western corridor across the Mara river which is infested with Nile crocs. A sight to behold even though the herds now only number in the 100's of thousands and not the several million of decades past, the herds used to come as far south as zambia and Zimbabwe and you could see clouds of dust and feel the pounding of hooves a thousand kilometers away
It’s amazing how agile the lion is in making the swing to the left to dodge the leopard’s swipe!
he did not avoid, the leopard deprived her of the initiative with this strike and saved the skin. I did not know that they were so clever ...
Lion didn't make the swing leppi made her do that bu pushing
I heard leopard claws are bigger then the lions
@@seliconer3702 you heard wrong. It’s always better to do your own research than going by what you “heard”.

Not much of a fight there, leopard knew he had to flee quickly..
and lioness knows if it attacks it face to face it would receive injury. animals look for minimal injury encounters

@@DG-zv4bl of course she would, but leopards are not hyenas, a dead leopard doesn't worth the risk of losing an eye from those claws

*It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.*
Leopard stood it's ground and earned few seconds and in those seconds it seized the opportunity and fled.
Did you hear the claws on asphalt?
Which was rarer? Actually catching moments like these live, or actually holding the damn camera straight?
And finally only whispering tourists and not loud Karens
