The incredible 'resurrection' of an antelope after being captured by a leopard

The hunter is good, but the prey is better.

Just like a miniature society, the wild world has its order and is established by powerful hunters. These are the most fearsome predators in nature and are ranked by scientists at the top of the food chain.

Among carnivores, perhaps the big cat family is the most attractive and powerful predator. They are called by scientists the big cat family of the genus Panthera, which includes lions, leopards, jaguars and tigers. This is the most fearsome family in the wild, possessing a rate of terrifying numbers such as the success rate of hunting of lions is 30%, cheetahs is 58%, leopards is 38% and tigers is 5%.

Among them, the leopard is the most talented animal with a nearly comprehensive set of running, climbing, and swimming skills. These are probably the skills that Mother Nature uses to compensate for being a bit "rickety" compared to other brothers and sisters in the family. They have a rather modest body, about 2 m long and weigh from 30 - 90 kg when mature.

Leopards have a special body structure, suitable for extremely high acceleration. According to scientists' calculations, this animal can reach a maximum speed of up to 120 km/h, a stride of up to 8 m when sprinting and they reach a speed of 95 km/h in just 4 steps.

In addition, leopards also have very good eyesight with a vision of more than 200 degrees, allowing them to easily estimate the distance to their prey as well as detect any dangers lurking around. However, at night, leopards' eyesight is very bad, so they focus on hunting during the day, even in the middle of the hot noon.

It is thanks to these advantages that leopards have become one of the animals with the greatest hunting success in Africa.

The leopard's main food is wildebeest, buffalo, zebra and many other antelopes in the African grasslands. However, fierce competition from predators, including relatives, and a significant decline in animal species due to climate change have made the antelope's hunting life very difficult. Not to mention the times when hunting encounters incidents like the clip below.

Accordingly, the scene of the film takes viewers to the savannah in Africa, where there is a dry creek surrounded by wild grass. It is easy to see that this is a place where a herd of impalas and baboons gather to rest and eat. The peaceful scene lulls the herbivores to sleep. They do not know that a leopard is slowly walking under the creek. When watching this, everyone cannot help but admire the leopard's masterful hiding skills. Almost all the surrounding creatures do not know about the presence of the high-level predator. Only when the predator launches an attack, it is too late.

The strength and speed of the leopard are clearly shown in each frame. Of course, its prey was captured in a flash. The antelope was then dragged down the hole. However, nature always has surprises. It is unclear whether by some miracle or divine power, from the bottom of the deep and dark hole, the antelope suddenly rose up and flew up to the ground. The beautiful scene combined with the astonishing excellence of the poor prey made the audience only able to admire and marvel.
