When a male leopard was seen all but embracing a baby antelope, you might easily have thought it was baby-sitting. However, it soon became evident that this was a typical cat behaviour — playing with its food.
Charles Nel witnessed this curious incident and submitted his video and story to Latest Sightings. He filmed it near Biyamithi Camp in Kruger National Park.
What Can You See?
Charles said he was watching a male klipspringer staring intently from a granite outcrop.
He said, “Suddenly, a shrill scream rang out and we glanced towards where the klipspringer was staring. Next moment, a leopard jumped up onto the rock with a baby duiker in its jaws.”
To his surprise, instead of eating, the leopard draped its massive paw over the lamb. At times, it even licked it, as if grooming.
