Selected sequences
Leopard hunting at night
Unbelievable images of a leopard hunting at night. The leopard is discouraged from trying to hunt the deer because they know of its presence (top left), and might also have good night vision. Jumping into a tree (top right) for more promising prey among the monkeys. They don’t see well in the dark, but have excellent hearing. Hunting for monkeys. Accidentally the leopard gets heard so the cover is broken and she has to get more daring. She manages to isolate one mother and baby (arrows point at the two, bottom right).
