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.

@dianalansford

Why is it sad? They wouldn't exist if they didn't eat each other.

[dianalansford]

It is sad to see how these animals kills and eat each other.

[SiKHiTxxFaLLz]

Hyenas are like niggers, they always come in gangs, try steal your shit, and cant fight.

@Ineedthat06 every animal has a purpose,they are scavengers and so are a lot of other animals. It's nature and how it works.

[Ineedthat06]

hyenas should be extirminated ... seriously? what is there purpose of being here?

Although I'm fascinated with National Geographic but I confess that in many wild films BBC has the superiority.

But anyways great thanks for both efforts

No wonder the mother's showing less concern whether they're hungry or not, when she returned. Both boys were already much bigger than their mother. She's done an incredible job bringing up two huge male cubs like that on her own.
