Male Lion Stalks & Attacks Leopard

Read more about the sighting: This is the intense moment caught on film of a bold lion sneaking up on an unsuspecting leopard having a nap. Matthew Poole (26), a professional guide at &beyond’s Kirkman’s Camp in the Sabi Sands, watched this exciting scene play itself out right before him and his excited guests. “By far the rarest sighting in my guiding career!” Matthew told us. Matthew continued: “On October 04th 2016, we had started our game drive in search of leopard. After hearing a male leopard had been found we all got excited and headed into the area. The male leopard started to walk along the banks of the Sand river scent marking all the way. It was at this moment we noticed the male lion lying in the river on the opposite bank. I said to my guests 'Can you imagine if these 2 dominant males came together'. It seemed as if my words weren’t cold because shortly after that the male leopard went to sleep and the lion started to stalk him from the other side of the river.” Matthew stated that he had mixed emotions as this sighting started to unfold. There was a lot of excitement and nerves building as the male lion started to stalk from across the Sand River. As the lion got closer to the leopard, Matthew realized that if he caught the leopard, then he would potentially kill it. “At this point I started to warn my guests about what could happen.” But, before they knew it, the lion was right below the sleeping leopard! Fortunately, the lion didn’t kill the leopard, but the sneaky lion scared the living daylights out of the leopard. “The lion drove the leopard into a Leadwood tree on the river bank and then had a drink and moved off out of the area”.

1. With Lion Leopard Cat )
2. Some folks in the society just won't mind their own business
3. Well no shit!!! With all those noises humans make and their stinkin' smell, obviously the leopard had a hard time sensing the goddamn lion!!! Fuckin' cunts!
4. It should have slept up on a tree..
5. every lion should attack every one of those stupid jeeps. way too close.
6. The lion didn't want to kill the leopard. The leopard knew the lion is there but ignored him .
7. A full grown leopard can't kill a full grown lion. Yet such a leopard won't let a lion kill it either. So it's a Win-win for both Apex predators!
8. Why every time a video that's has to do with animals in Africa get so many dislikes
9. There isn't a "male lion" and a "female lion" , there is lion and lioness
10. If there was a Tiger leopard dead meat.
11. lions aren't called "king of the jungle" for no reason. they like high perches/lookouts. so I suspect that was "his spot". I think he was mad cause cousin leopard took his spot.
12. What happens if your car breaks down and you have no communication water or gas out their that would suck
13. This was more of a territorial warning from the lion to the leopard than it was an intent to kill. If the lion had intended to kill the leopard, he would have seized him by the throat.
14. 1 of its 9 lives used :D
15. the leopard could have got killed and all cause of humans.. the Lion was coming from the cars direction... the leopard didint see them as a treath wich made him ignore that...
16. 1:36 At the end the photographer decided just to film his buddies in the other Jeep, instead of capturing the chase on film.
17. the male lion just wanted to kiss the leopard
18. Lion - Yo asshole wake the fuck up or imma have to whoop you!
    Leopard - oh Shit!
19. IT'S JUST A PRANK BRO!
20. what the leopard survived this attack?! Weird, i thought it was death when the lion caught it..!
