A leopard hunting in a tree is amazing to watch. They are not small cats, but can effortlessly leap around the branches as if they are light as a feather. Amazing animals!
I was 100% sure that monkey was just going to be able to keep his distance, but holy shit that final burst of speed in the top of a tree! Heavily underestimated the leopards agility and guts to make that final jump :o

This is a big difference between a leopard and a jaguar. Leopards are, as we've just seen, extremely well-adapted for hunting in trees. A jaguar, however, couldn't do this, because they're adapted more for hunting in water. Jaguars regularly kill crocodilians, large fish, and turtles for food, whereas leopards rarely do.
I've seen it dozens of times. A leopard is more graceful than a heavy lion or tiger. Monkeys are very afraid of all three, but most of the time the leopard has a better chance of getting the monkey.
Well the leopard had it cornered. And while its climbing it cannot look at the leopard. Its the number 1 rule every cat knows. When can the prey see you and when is it time to pounce.
My cat also does this. He moves at a certain speed most of the time but can astonish in a split second with extra range and speed. I think they do this on purpose, keeping their max speed hidden and making their target feel secure, and then use that secret speed and range as a secret weapon for closing.
@Iggi Valencia. Actually in the dark they make no noise at all, so if you sit on a tree and it’s pitch black outside and you don’t have lighting, sorry, you won’t hear it or see it coming. My point is that the leopard is the master of stealth especially when you can’t see them, I like to call them the Night Ninjas of the cat world.🥷🐆They also mostly hunt at night so that makes them even more lethal. Some also call it the King of the Trees of the cat world.
How dId the leopard gain such lightning speed upward from such flimsy, crooked and short branches while tracking the moving target? The leopard closed the upward gap like a bullet. INCREDIBLE!!!
The crazy thing about this hunt is that the leopard did not chase the monkey directly..it infact predicted its direction n path on the tree and intercepted it at blinding speed..master class hunting
Wow!!! What? How? This is spectacular film footage. I knew leopards were agile but damn! Just a beautiful animal and physically impressive. Thank you for this video.
So what? Put any leopard behind any springbok he would be lost. Not the cheetah. Try against hyenas pack, leopard would flee. Not lions. Try a leopard taking down alone on one single bite most heaviest and powerful cappe of the world (Gaur of 1.5T). Thay absolutely cannot do this. All cat species are totally unreal.
You have to give it to these animals because they truly deserve their hunts, unlike us humans who hunt thousands of miles away through the barrel of a rifle.
If I could leap through trees and kill game with teeth and bare hands I guess I would.....its not a feasible option considering the state of affairs of the human condition.....its fair to use tools pal....your most important weapon in a hunt is your mind
My house cats do crazy things like jump ON TOP of the fridge from the floor and not knock anything off the top of the fridge. Cats are amazing creatures!
I have been to Sabi Sands - Kirkman's Camp in 2012. Was an awesome experience!! Wonderful food, service, hospitality. Awesome morning, afternoon and some night time game drives. Bunu bashing with those Landrovers - you don't wait for game, you go to them!! Would love another visit!! If you have been to Paul Kruger National, well it is nothing in comparison to a real game drive!! 🤨
What a great cat and it's hunting skills Is there any place left that leopard 🐆 can't hunt Under the soil : warthog Inside river: crocks On the land : impahala And now in the sky : monkey Lmao 🤣🤣 real badass 😂
Fantastic, you´re so lucky to witness that hunt. While I was in Kruger just about a week ago, I saw a leopard hunt in which the leopard kill a impala. However, this is a once in a lifetime hunt.
For a moment I thought the leopard had realized this was a waste of energy, but then it struck me, this is a leopard. I've seen them do amazing hunts. The leap, and Boom!!!!!!
A leopard hunting in a tree is amazing to watch. They are not small cats, but can effortlessly leap around the branches as if they are light as a feather. Amazing animals!
Think of the precision it takes to do this it's crazy because that means that somewhere he's feeling himself out as he's doing it
the precision and accuracy is off the charts, truly mind blowing
Won't lie, when that monkey jumped to the next tree I thought the leopard had no chance.
That monkey could return to the other tree even before his balance from tia jump...but it ..
Look closely of how slow the monkey was making the transition!…the leopard is moving at lighting speed!!..
Monkey was also thinking the same😂
but monkey brain is slower than leo
This has to be the greatest hunt i've ever come across!
Monkey: You can't reach me up here; I'm high up, on a slim limb and you are heavy.
Leopard: Watch me!
There is another one similar to this one. I do not remember the caption, but it was amazing. Hope you see it one of these days.

No doubt.

Who was in the tree ?
From all the big cats, leopard is by far the most complete of all. No contest.
THAT WAS CRAZY...I never thought a leopard could move that fast on such flimsy branches that high up in a tree, that was incredible!
this is unbelievable.. the leopard seemed to fly
Yes... amazing
അതെ I think the leopard is equipped with an antigravity engine.😂
Yes,it was fascinating to watch! Crazy, mad powers!
Yes, I thought that too. I thought monkey was at a same distance.
He can

Pero tu gato Pesa 10 veces menos que el leopardo.. amigo
Unbelievable! Weighs a hundred times the monkey weight, and still flies around branches like a bird. Absolutely magnificent.
Cat will be cat
Pound for pound leopards are easily top 5 in surviving in the wild. They’re just so well rounded
Aren't leopards endangered?
@@bennypit4411 isn't that because of human encouragement of there habitat
That was some very impressive hunting IQ. The leopard was able to figure the tree puzzle with only 1 try.
One try shown. You have no idea how long this hunt lasted before what is shown here.
Great agility, phenomenal timing and laser like focus makes it a true stealthy killer. Monkey did not even see it coming. RIP.
johann supper hahahahaha
That was pure athleticism and skills. It was no *"stealth".*

I still dont understand how he knew where to jump he barely looked at where the monkey was going! Insane as fuck
That's what predators do they track their targets
Leopard has four eyes👀👀
Holy cow I had not the slightest clue that leopards were as fast as gazelles up in trees
Wow, that Leopard just went Superman. That was amazing!
Pound for pound the leopard is the king of cats
T Man .
Actually, the jaguar is the most powerful.
Leopards are the best tree climber big cats
Jaguars are better. Hunt underwater, pretty good at climb (not as good as leopard), the strongest bite force in big cats family
jaguar maybe more powerful than leopard. but leopard is the smartest big cat
The crazy thing about this hunt is that the leopard did not chase the monkey directly..it infact predicted its direction n path on the tree and intercepted it at blinding speed..master class hunting
That leopard defied the laws of gravity
The best predator in the world..
This cat is prob close to 200lbs. People think they are big bosses with their pit bull lol
facts
The true definition of agility. The leopard is truly the most agile predator
Amazing......my Father used to tell me about leopards hunting skills. And this is really a proof.
Absolutely phenomenal, the leopard really is king of all feline. The true master of hunting.
JDMsweetness agreed, pound for pound the ultimate badass
Jaguar is the strongest pound for pound.

But Leopard is more active and agile than jaguar

lions are the king

Just shows what a genius and calculative predator leopard is 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 put a tiger ,lion or cheetah in same shoes and they will fail miserably .✌🏻
So what? Put any leopard behind any springbok he would be lost. Not the cheetah.
Try against hyenas pack, leopard would flee. Not lions.
Try a leopard taking down alone on one single bite most heaviest and powerful cappe of the world (Gaur of 1.5T). Thay absolutely cannot do this.

Hi brenden, did you film this video?

Just proves never doubt a hungry Cat.

First one minute: This leopard is just wasting his time.
Last one minute: My life is a waste

They use their paralysing roar to stun monkeys and eat them.
They can climb trees easily tho.

Monkey itself finds hard to escape from leopard on tree means human no chance at all
