I do not own this video.

Great live footage!

Comments of the end of the video were put for joking I suppose.
There's not a winner and a loser, that's nature!

HUMAN THREAT
Mainly habitat loss. But leopards are also:
killed for commercial reasons (fur, others), leopard-human conflict, hunted for fun. Kept unfree (zoos..., in small cages without vegetation + exhibited all day to another species). Used as tourist attractions. Petted. And surely others.

  • will smith's ears

  • how are the wild dogs the winner? the leopard was no chance of getting caught were talking about 1 of the fastest animals on earth. Not only that it can climb trees. They could have started all together in a bunch with the dogs chasing the leopard and it would be out of sight long before they get to it.

  • those wild dogs are renowned for being supremely tough. I remember a bbc documentary on them and these things continue through life with injuries that would kill many other animals. They are so mentally tough they just seem to cope with there injurys to the point they heal themselves. incredible animals

  • humans are so noisy

  • Sissy is the one who whrote sissy.... omg love leopads, they are much more brighter and clever than any other cats we have, forget about strenght, these leopards are faster than ligthning strikes

  • Yeah, let's see the 'sissy' commentor see how brave he is facing down a pack of those dogs or the leapord.

  • dog is like " I smell a cat"

    spots the leapord and is like " WOW! thats one HUUUUGE cat"

  • that dog got scared lols..

  • I love how all of these "Nature" vids are filmed from the top of a giant truck........ So close to nature....

  • 6 on one, that isn't a sissy, thats survival.
