Both are carnivores and live in the same area in Africa, so lions and leopards are hard to avoid. Even when given the opportunity, leopards are ready to kill lion cubs.
The short video below captures a leopard grabbing a lion cub and bringing it up to a tree to eat while the mother lion is away.
In the clip, an adult male leopard is wandering in the meadow when it suddenly stops. Immediately after, the animal plunged into the dense thicket and emerged with a small lion in its mouth.
The adult leopard weighs more than 70kg and the lion is only about 3 weeks old. Then it climbs the tree and begins to eat its prey.
At first, I was shocked by what I witnessed. However, I quickly accepted because this is part of nature.
