The focus level in the leopard’s eyes was intense.
True, she was focused...
@@va8874 thanks ... We couldn't see ..
Beautiful camera work!
😂😂🤣it's a woman's thing i guess😂😂🤣
@@forefatherofmankind3305
You're welcome, oh great unwelcome one.
She's so pretty. Cats are dangerous killers, but they are, also, so beautiful.
You're a sadist and insensitive. How can dangerous killer be pretty & beautiful? Save that distorted admiration for when it pins it's fangs over your neck!
@@HlubiNgwane Dangerousness has nothing to do with physical beauty. She's a dangerous killer, but she still has breathtaking dazzling gem-like blue eyes, she still has a sleek coat, a smooth body and an efflortless elegance that gives her a regal appearance. She's a gorgeous creature, a magic apparition. And by the way, she's not an "it," she has a gender. She's a female, call her "she."
Just like fire
@@rayarena879 Wonderful and poetic
She's breathtakingly beautiful
This cat looked so smart calculated and very stealthy with its moves! A real hunter!
They say you can never notice a leopard come. 😊
CRUEL 😡😡😡😡😡
It’s amazing. I have seen my neighbors car stalk a bird just like this. He crouched and approached the bird before pouncing
@@fernandes8272 तो खाए क्या भाई गजब आदमी हो यार तुम
@@fernandes8272 cruel क्या है इसमे।
She found her vector and followed that path perfectly, in the open but also in the blindspot of all around. Amazing stealth and awareness. Obviously she’s a predator so she’ll have these amazing skills but witnessing it is always awe-inspiring.
Stalking technique: 10
Speed: 9
Capture: 10
Her cub fed: priceless
I agree with you 100%!!!
Agree
That leighipeurd is so freaking majestic, what a skilled hunter!
This statement I absolutely agree with.
Yeah that leopard’s stealth and maneuverability was uncanny
@@xxrazaxx ... No. It's a leapord. The title is wrong. Everyone who's spelled it your way has been wrong.
@@JW...-oj5iw u might have a point-but autocorrect suggests “leopard”
@@xxrazaxx ... I was being facetious.
My days, but that creature can stalk!! What amazing camouflage and her legs/paws move with such purpose....she didn't so much as kick up dust! This was a very special video and thanks to whoever shot it in the first place!! Well done and more please!!
You are a murderer by association: baboon survivor.
Watch jaguars hunt crocs. Its awesome
@@sdfghgtrew
Thanks for the tip! I’ll check it out!
"My days, but that creature can stalk!!"
That makes no sense. Skip fourth grade?
@@CooManTunes Get off your lame high horse, condescending in TH-cam comment sections over grammar ain't no way to live. 👎😑
Amazing! The leopard is out in the open in daylight and is still quiet and unseen
What's more remarkable is how that one baboon looked just like Ron Perlmen 🤔
they're very hard to spot. Here in Kenya a guide in a park challenged me to find a leopard hidden in a tree and it took a few minutes before I was able to see the leopard
Our planet is blessed to have such beautiful creatures like this.
Our planet is also cursed because of some creatures
and we are successful in destroying them......
@@my_j.a.r.v.i.s. - You mean, creatures like humans?
Nope this Africa ur not Africa stop colonizing people
Baboon didn't think so..
Gave new meaning to the saying “hiding in plain sight”.
How did it give it a new meaning?
Its LITERALLY what it means. Lol
Steganography
@keema315 that may be true, but i doubt that its on purpose most of the time lol smh..

Her unerring focus, meticulously precise movements and absolute determination in such a beautifully elegant and graceful approach was something very special to see!
Superb camera operation.
Beautiful, beautiful leopard.
Leopards are savage. They hunt anything they think they can catch - and they can tackle a lot. They're - in relation to their weight - the strongest cat.
It's always amazing to see them carry a kill while climbing a tree
@@wasabi-in-my-eye3134 They have been known to carry as much as 200 lbs up a tree.
they were the lowest percentage rate of catching on the feline category.
That's really not something special about leopards, that's almost universal among animals. The law of diminishing returns heavily affects strength and size among animals, like how an ant is insanely strong for its size, but at the end of the day we're just flat out stronger. Same thing with leopards, they are strong for their size but they would get absolutely demolished by a tiger or jaguar.
Meanwhile tiger after seeing your comments - 🤣🤣😆
That's how I enter my home while everyone is asleep.
🤪😂
Thats how I break into a home while everyone is asleep.
You mean like the baboon looks in the leopard's mouth? I get your point...he does kinda look like he has a hangover.
@@waldolydecker8118 😆
It is obvious you were a leopard in your previous life
At first I thought she started her attack too soon. It looked like the baboons were going to get away, but obviously she timed it just right.
Or the film makers tossed her one. We didn't actually see her catch one. That was some very dubious editing if you ask me!
@@stupidas9466 Good point!
I don't think she intended to start that soon, there was an alarm call a tenth of a second before she started to roll.
@@stupidas9466 yeah a lot of these look manipulated and staged to a degree
These vids are mostly for casual but unaware consumers
Beats they really stage nature documentaries a lot. The red on the baboon's neck looks like sn exit wound from a gunshot.
The most remarkable thing which many have failed to notice earlier is the way the leopard tries to move keeping with the same pace as the elephants, but only in the opposite direction, so as to appear a still boulder or a contour. The moment the elephants stop walking is the exact moment the leopard decides to halt as well! Now thats one hell of a brain
Animals ARE smart...... Smarter than MOST humans. Animals kill because they HAVE to to SURVIVE...... MOST humans kill because of enjoyment & for the MONEY.
@@tbone3972 that's not how "smartness" is measured from a neurological standpoint. Wild animals have great visual memories and stronger motion sensitivity. But, that doesn't make them smarter than human beings.
@@tbone3972 we get it, you hate the human race lol but animals definitely aren't "smarter" then humans in terms of intelligence.. not even close
@@newleaf5354 The 80 million people that voted for Biden prove you wrong there. Animals are smarter the MOST of the human race...
@@sagnikpaul1811 Your over thinking it animals are smart... accept it!
I guess the baboons didn't expect a leopard to attack in broad daylight...
caught them slippin
Where were the feds????
Baboon was like “shiid, today imma let my nutters hang”. Wrong day though.
@@doeman35 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aww, what a gorgeous lil cat, you have :-D
How she moves when she is in stalking mode is a majic work of art.
She’s absolutely beautiful!
That cat moved like a snake in the grass. Stunning animal. Unfortunate end for the juvenile baboon.
th-cam.com/video/Ti4sqG85FU4/w-d-xo.html
They deserve to be food for the carnivores it's the natural selection of the circle of life Baboons breed like mice and leopards only 1/50th that rate.
Live and learn, uuuh not this time.
But life the Leapord and her cub
Perhaps the juvenile was spared the sentence of life as a ne’er do well😊🇺🇸
I love leopards. Not the fastest, nor the strongest, but the craftiest and most self relying of Africa's big cats.
wow, I cant decide which cat should be most majestic, First it was the Lion now I see this leopard, Just beautiful...
In my country, we have many problems with baboons, their numbers are very large due to the absence of predators, and the most important of these predators is the Arabian leopard 🐆💔
@@zahirmurji And there forest are being destroyed and replaced by city's
Where are you from?
@@dr.killmoretreeratologist8848 Baboons are neither good nor bad. They are simply animals (that I personally find good looking) that survive. Being also opportunistic they can adopt behaviors not very welcome to us. The problem is there are no more natural predators for balance their number And don't forget often cities are built where there are their ancestry territories so the intruders aren't them. It takes increase the individual numbers of leopards and cheetahs
Well, you could become their predator, they'll make good meat 😅😅😅😅
We have problems with baboons here in the United States. All of them are found in Washington DC.
I was like "dang, her cover was exposed too early and that baboon is far away". Still got it tho!
All it can do is run to a tree or hope she loses sight and scent long enough to hide 💀
(and obviously tree is trap)
From another video, leopards run at 80 mph and baboons 40+ mph. So especially that young one was doomed.
@@slomo4672 leopards top speed is 36-40 mph, you’re thinking of cheetahs. Their top speeds are 65-80mph.
Yoh 80mph, nah I don't believe that cheetah can clock maybe 70mph not 80mph.
Love female leopards. They’re so elegant and deadly.
At 00:16 seconds when the leopard looks at the camera while crouching down to hunt it almost ignited a primeval feeling. Can you imagine going back to our early ancestors who lived in trees, and you look to the side and see that. It's almost like even through video we as a result of our evolution are programmed to find that terrifying deep down in our minds or hearts.
The great Jim Corbett of the 'The Man Eaters of Kumaon' wrote that leopards are so skilled that they will pick a person from the middle of dozens working in the field, kill and take away without any of the others knowing. They are incredibly strong, quiet and fast thinking. Super hunters.
Wouldn't the victim screaming and yelling be a giveaway??
@@wanderer1955 They don't have the time to scream. They don't see it coming. Also they always go for the throat and the vice like grip prevents any sound from escaping. There is no struggle. A leopard can hide behind a brick.
@@wanderer1955 I suggest you to read the works of Jim Corbett. He was truly remarkable. He hunted tigers, cheetahs, leopards by foot.
@@sagnikpaul1811 Yeah right up till he got eaten. Apparently he yelled. "He's eating my old Bollox"!!!!!!
@@wanderer1955 🤦🏻♂️ he used to hunt man eaters to help the villagers. It’s fairly common that these magnificent beings can’t hunt other wild animals as they get old. Only stupid humans on its menu.
👏👏👏 the work of the camera guy. Irreproachable!
Great job
totally poachable!
@@TremenDirio You mean, totally reproachable.
Camera guyS
Amazing
The way she is approaching 😂❤️✨ it's so terrifying yet fantastic
Nature is an astounding work of awe to behold in its everlasting presence.
The added fact of a mother needing to hunt to provide for her young is so heartwarming.
The circle of life :)
Heartwarming? You must be joking.
@@michaelcarey299 yes it is. Unless her failing to provide food for her cubs is somehow heartwarming to you?
That’s a sick twisted way of thinking on your part
Looked like she pounced a bit too early but got her mark nonetheless, then had the swagger to walk away with the corpse in front of the others. Very well done
So funny the way she was just slowly walking away with their friend and they’re just in the distance like 😮
What fabulous camera work. The fluid grace of the leopard so beautifully captured.
Agreed, this footage is amazing.
Leopards are so fckn awesome
Agree. Even when they face lions. Most often they can stay alive
She became one with nature itself, amazing creature.
My imagination ran wild. I could have sworn I heard the leopard yell, "Stop."
The leopard is my favorite even over lions and tigers. Thank you for the video.
Sorry for the young baboon, but Olimba's unrecognizable approach was magnificent! Even the cautious elephants, baboons, and even birds (maybe) couldn't see her... 👍✨
Baboons are pests. Good riddance
@@E-E.ADVENTUREGEARS just like humans
@@CrimsonKingl2
APPOINTED BY BEBONS?
@cutscene 1985 Yes, I agree. Just wondering how they could film this from different directions without frightening any animals away...
@@CrimsonKingl2 Speaking of yourself, eh?
The cameraman must have been wearing a leopard fur coat to camouflage himself
🤣😂🤣
No. The cameraman was wearing a baboon costume as bait lmao
Oh ,I guess cameras can't zoom
The camera lady I think.. Must have been........
To camouflage herself
I think super telephoto lenses and more than two cameras are doing the trick.
Beautiful looking leopard
I liked how the Leopard walked away proudly with his kill, she earned it.
“The 6 Million Dollar Leopard.”
I hope more people get what you're referring to... Classic show! 👌
😂😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I don’t longer get herpes outbreak after using doctorojie1@yahoo.com natural herbs medication 💊❤️🤍🤍🇺🇸🤍
@@rosejay7370 Are you a leopard?
Despite being the smallest and weakest of the big four, Leopards are the most beautiful, graceful and skillful of them all.
@TheDrewSaga Yes
@TheDrewSaga the big four are: buffalo, leopard, elephant and lion 😉.
@TheDrewSaga check on the net... In Africa, the "big five" (rhino included) are now more often called the "big four" (rhino excluded). That's the list I gave 😉.
The camera crew did a remarkable job 👏🏻👏🏻
he missed the kill
No doubt look at that cat creep
I bet he/she was fist pumping inside when the stalking started, probably only took 10 years to get such a great shot. As for missing the kill, ffs, it was in the bush, we got the drama full throttle, great job.
One of the baboons had a GoPro strapped to his head.
more likely several of them...
O animal mais espetacular na minha opinião! Sua plasticidade é lendária; Movimentos estudados, sua cor inconfundível,sua leveza e destreza na hora do ataque, além da camuflagem e o incrível poder de escalar árvores gigantes com sua presa pesadíssima na boca. Realmente um exímio predador!
This cat 🐱 has the perfect hunting skills...
This just shows that in nature anything can happen, even the most unexpected
All cats are simply awesome!!
Cats are such a freaking badass animals! If you didn't see them, you'd think they are fairly tale creatures like unicorns. The way they move looks alien and supernatural. I didn't know "elegant death" could be a thing. And here they are 😯
Only a leopard can move like this, her entire body in stealth mode. One of the many wonders of nature.
Great camera work
Yes, indeed!👍✨
I concur
Namaste'
Nope. Missed the actual capture. Or maybe it's edited out not to offend snowflakes.
Why does a tiger like a leopard ?
It's really not an actual scene but probably a string of random scenes thrown together.
what beautiful animal the leopard is
What an amazing cat 🙀 And also great photography 📸
I love this kitty’s goofy little face & ears! Dangerously cute!
Kitty 🙄
Kitty.....
Dont you ever think that when you see one in persn in the wild.
"in Broad Daylight", as if it was illegal lol
Daylight robbery
🤗
Because usually they hunt at night
Baboons are pretty nasty, the big males pose a real threat to even adult leopards, so attacking without the ability to disappear into the darkness is pretty bold
@@smilodnfatalis55 They even kill lion pups, they are intelligent f+cks, they had it coming.
Leopards are beautiful
How majestic! Looks like my roommate Ruben sneaking into the kitchen at night to steal my snacks
OMG! Leopards are so freaking terrific. The best killers in the wild, my gosh!
One of the most beautiful cats I have ever seen on film or anywhere to be precise.
The beauty of a deadly hunter. Such a paradox.

@@ashotmeloyan8240 tumou78uy
STOP posting your garbage here!! No-one is interested!!
Its anything but a paradox
The movement is so precise, elegant and intimidating.
Probably the best hunters in the world
What a footage!!! Kudos to cameraman.👏👏👏.
If you can see a leopard, it's too late. Their agility is amazing. Leopard the Stealth
I love how Felidae acts in nature. Their moves are like a mountain stream flow.
One of the most beautiful creatures on our planet. She could win any limbo contest. :)
The Way The Leopard Stalked Was Like A Steathful Slow Dance Of Death!
As someone who was once chased by a baboon and barely escaped, this took guts from the leopard as they can gang up and give it back. Big time
had you provoked them ? what happened?
Baboons are savage and they are a problem in some areas of Africa.
@@JDVRadio You dont need to provoke them. They are naturally assholes.
you dont need to provoke them, they are naturally @$$holes
Primates are so like humans it’s truly creepy to think about. Natures a holes
A truly majestically skilled huntress.
Impressive hunter and gorgeous creature.
Olimba's skills and beauty leaves me breathless. Literally.
The back of the lower back legs had no fur on them. All that crouching down and stalking must of wore it off. Such a beautiful animal, the sunlight really highlighted the markings
This got me thinking about primitive hominids being stalked by large carnivores when they 1st ventured out onto the grasslands
There is no proof of supposed primitive hominids boss.
In Indian Villages they still pick up 3-4 year old kids for dinner.
It’s good that you don’t get paid to think.
@@Broody58 idk about you but im a child of the living God
@@darcie7773 actually you have a common ancestor with that baboon, that lived somewhere around 10m years ago
When a leopard does the leopard crawl it is just magnificent
Leopard looked so fluid as it stalked. Reminded me of molasses slowly poring out of the jar.
That leopard said "cheetah" 1:26
The best stalker of all the Big cats. The LEOPARD
Leopard- I am hidden. No one can see me.
3.3Million people- Sure.
omg look at that walk an inch above ground what a superb agilityi t's not a chameleon but in that environment his tan, the ground color and the sun burnt leaves and roots , ita a perfect combination camouflage, that's why no one saw him coming.. amazing. only with what nature povided him no guns no changing coat, , just agility , his coat and the fangs. superb.
That leopard closed a huge distance 👀‼️ but I guess you're screwed against a leopard if your only refuge is a tree
Not even
They can climb trees too there's a video of a leopard chasing a monkey and grabbing it in mid air. 😭
@@spek888 catching squirrel too
Sounded like the baboon said “NOO!” At @1:42
As it watches one of its own getting killed
Baboon's deep, rich, gutteral sounds always amazes me, the same way that macaques and capuchins make cooing sounds as babies and adults. Animals are fascinating.
Art in motion. I love cats of all sizes. They're amazing predators, yet gorgeous.
That cat was hungry as hell, cat knew if she makes a sound, she will not eat. Impressive video.
1:40 "Damn...he got Jon" 😂😂😂
I had a similar thought at the moment too 😂
Beautiful Leopard.
Damn i love the way her pattern looks in the sun 🤣😍
Leopards are such incredible and beautiful animals.
Excellent hunting video . camera man's extraordinary skill reflected each frame . Good captured . Good job brother
they sure are beautiful
Watching them move slowly is as impressive as watching them at full speed
Beautiful footage of life in the wild. Thank you for sharing!!❤️❤️❤️
What a magnificent creature!!
That's how the Leopard Crawl move came about now in the army.. 1:07
Both the camera crew and the leopard did a great job. Nice collaboration.
Incredibly gorgeous! What a beautiful creature!
That is an incredibly beautiful cat!!!
Beautiful creature
Such beautiful, graceful, intelligent & agile creatures…
And what audacity & confidence she must have had in her hunting skills (perhaps mixed with an urgent need to feed her Cub?) in order to attempt such a risky & difficult stalking attack - in an open field in broad daylight!
THIS CAT WAS SO GRATEFUL & MAJESTY'S U HAVE 2 RESPECT THEM
Wow! Never ceases to amaze! Love all cats, they are awesome!
Beautiful the way big kitty seems to melt with and flow on top of the ground, Sad for lil Bab though still rough for me to see the killing.
Love the camera work. Must have extreme patience to get those shots.
Awesome work.
The stealth of the cat is unbelievable!
