    This is the intense moment caught on film of a bold lion sneaking up on an unsuspecting leopard having a nap.

    bit.ly/Vacationdeals
    Matthew Poole (26), a professional guide at &beyond’s Kirkman’s Camp in the Sabi Sands, watched this exciting scene play itself out right before him and his excited guests.
    “By far the rarest sighting in my guiding career!” Matthew told us.
    Matthew continued: “On October 04th 2016, we had started our game drive in search of leopard.

    After hearing a male leopard had been found we all got excited and headed into the area.
    The male leopard started to walk along the banks of the Sand river scent marking all the way. It was at this moment we noticed the male lion lying in the river on the opposite bank.
    I said to my guests 'Can you imagine if these 2 dominant males came together'. It seemed as if my words weren’t cold because shortly after that the male leopard went to sleep and the lion started to stalk him from the other side of the river.”
    Matthew stated that he had mixed emotions as this sighting started to unfold.
    There was a lot of excitement and nerves building as the male lion started to stalk from across the Sand River.
    As the lion got closer to the leopard, Matthew realized that if he caught the leopard, then he would potentially kill it. “At this point I started to warn my guests about what could happen.” But, before they knew it, the lion was right below the sleeping leopard!
    Fortunately, the lion didn’t kill the leopard, but the sneaky lion scared the living daylights out of the leopard.
    “The lion drove the leopard into a Leadwood tree on the river bank and then had a drink and moved off out of the area”.

    EXCELLENT TECHNIQUE. He slept on the high ground, made sure he was facing the most likely entrance. Rolled to protect his back and neck, and made the escape facing the lion until he reached a safe distance. Nature allows for few second chances. That Leopard did everything right.

      @@ZoneCrasher The lion would have been wise not to jump on the leopard while it's in that defensive position. There's another video I saw where a male lion repeatedly lunged on a leopard in that position and the leopard clawed the shit out of him and visibly hurt his face over and over. The lion would have eventually killed the leopard but not without some nasty injuries. Unfortunately the video was cut short so I don't know how it ended. Leopards are no match for lions but in the face of death they're very formidable

    I freaking hate when someone can't do something as simple as pointing the camera to the action and subjects, wtf! I don't know why but this really pissed me off! I'm angry as shit. :@

      it was zoomed in a little and the leopard would've run incredibly fast. i'd like to see what you could've done

      Not start recording random people, probably.

      +Ebubekir İnanç not everyone is as gifted with a camera as you mr. ebubekir. i have seen with my own eyes a leopard running away from lions and they are very quick - especially when running for their lives. that close to the car with the camera zoomed in it would be very difficult. also people don't always only focus on the camera. sometimes you are looking at the sighting and move the camera without looking at what you are filming.

      Ebubekir İnanç i dunno. i think what i said was valid as i still maintain that filming the leopard running would've been very difficult so i thought it was unfair of you to be critical. but i agree this is a stupid thing to argue about
