The smallest of the ‘Big Cats’, the Leopard is known to be a stealthy, successful hunter.

Unfortunately their great prowess at hunting doesn’t always mean an easy meal, as they are often chased from their kills by hyenas or lions.

The trick most African Leopards have to their advantage is great agility. They use their agility to escape from competing predators by sleeping, eating and staying in trees. After making a kill, one of the first things a Leopard tries to do is bring their kill to safety, as this one has done with their gazelle.

This photo of a Leopard with a gazelle in a tree was taken in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.
