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.

  • Brilliant, The Leopard wins AGAIN!!!

  • I hate when a camera man is trying to make an action movie out of wild life, inserting some fake footage. Just film what that is and broadcast it! Dont try to win an Oscar

  • at the end its like "ahhh fuk "

  • wrong cameraman......wrong camera

  • FEEL LIKE EATING MEAT AFTER WATCHING THIS :P

  • Nature proves patients prevails.

  • @Lavenfrost lol that lioness later tried to climb the tree to get back the meat & it dies of a broken back. Looks like only brawn with no brains for me.
