Aerial acrobatic cat

An African wild cat jumped into the air and made an upside-down owl to catch pigeons.

Jaycee Rousseau, a 34-year-old South African photographer, captured the cat's spectacular movement in Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park located in South Africa and Botswana.

Telegraph said that Rousseau drove the car in Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park with his wife Suzaan. They saw the doves near a water hole. Just as the two were about to launch, they saw the cat lying nearby to search for the pigeons.

'We take the car to the best position to take a picture and wait. Indeed the cat did not let us down. He jumped up, caught a bird and ate , " Rousseau said.

Then the cat jumped a few more times but did not catch any pigeons. The next morning Rousseau and his wife returned to the water hole, but the cat was not there. They came back in the afternoon and saw the animal. Rousseau held up the camera again and waited.

"The cat jumped up and caught a pigeon. He ran into a bunch of grass to eat the prey and disappeared. We had to wait a long time to see it come back. He loosened again and jumped." Rousseau said.

Unfortunately for the cat, it didn't catch the bait during the jump.

Rousseau said he took many photos, but the photo posted on the Telegraph page was the most impressive.

'We have to wait a long time to capture that moment, but the wait is really not wasteful , ' he said.
