Hunting leopard surprised by cheetahs hunting the same ostriches. Kgalagadi NP April 2022 Nosob

Seeing an attack by a leopard is difficult, everyone knows, and seeing an attack by a cheetah is not easy either.
But to see them both at the same time is really exceptional...
That happened to us at the Kgalagadi NP Nosob camp, close to the Marie se turn waterhole in April 2022.
We had just returned from the Botswana section where we stayed for 5 nights, we had some good times but little view of the wildlife, mainly due to the very tall grass.
When we wanted to check in around 12.30 pm that was not possible so we decided to take a short drive to the southern part. At Marie's turn, we found a leopard near the road staring at an ostrich. Within a split second, she decided to go hunting the ostrich, or so I thought. She ran past the male ostrich toward a baby ostrich hidden in the grass, while the leopard ran toward the baby ostrich, the female ostrich ran the other way. The leopard killed the baby, and the male and female tried to impress the leopard by shaking their wings and stamping their feet. It seemed that the leopard was one with experiences, as she was not impressed at all with the ostriches.
Then it starts to get crazy, and the chaos starts.....
4 cheetahs ran at full speed to the female ostrich and they did not see the leopard with a kill, also the leopard did not notice the cheetahs when they finally saw each other everyone was confused about what to do. Soon after, two hyenas joined the story, the leopard decided to grab her prey and jumped into the nearest tree.
What an experience, every year Africa continues to surprise us with amazing sightings.
I hope you enjoy the videos we made and recorded some parts in slow motion, luckily, as everything goes so fast.

Interesting that the ostrich knew to hightail it out of there when she saw the cheetahs. Ostriches are fast, but, like other prey, must out-stamina the cats to stay alive.

"4 cheetah's targetting at full speed" - that must have been quite a sight and very difficult to capture as well.

Yes indeed not easy to capture all in a decent quality...

[@africanwildlifeadventuresj6382]

Hunting, yes they did, but no catch as they were surprised by the leopard attacking as well

To be brutally honest, any bird that evolves to be flightless deserves to be eaten. Some evolutionary paths make sense and then there are ostriches.
