Leopard's Gym Workout: Pull-Ups with a Buck
Leopard's Gym Workout: Pull-Ups with a
Buck
This male leopard is trying to reposition his meal but
falls out of the tree, hanging on to his prize with only
his mouth! He attempts to pull it out of the tree but
ends up swinging and spinning around acrobatically.
47-year-old Ute Sonnenberg, the owner of
@RohoYaChuisafaris was visiting the Londolozi
concession in the Greater Kruger National Park with a friend when she captured the footage. She shared the

"It had been raining that morning, yet we had already
seen a male leopard right at the beginning of the
game drive. We were all wrapped up in rain ponchos in
an attempt to keep dry. As the day progressed, the rain
stopped, and towards the end of the game drive, we
bumped into Shorty. A male leopard in the
concession.
"He was lying in the grass at the bottom of a tree.
Above him, a Nyala kill was hanging in the tree. We
waited to see if he would get up the tree to feed. After
a while, he went up the tree and started pulling on the
kill, and we realized that the Nyala's leg was hooked
on a branch and he couldn't move it."
Leopards will typically store their hard-earned meals
in the safety of trees. Trees provide a safe haven away
from scavengers, allowing leopards to feed in peace.
When observing the habits of leopards, one may find
their choice of trees very questionable. The ideal tree
will often be very thorny, flimsy, and hard to navigate.
"He continued tugging at the kill in an attempt to free
it, but to no avail. He was literally hanging on by his
jaws, swinging from the nyala's head. It was only a
matter of moments before he came tumbling down to
the ground. We were all stunned, excited, and in awe.
I'd seen leopards in trees before, but never falling like
that. We were all hoping he'd be able to free his kill; it
was difficult to watch him work so hard without being
able to help him; we felt sorry for him when he started
limping from his struggles and had to rest in the
bushes.""When it looked like he would rest for a while, we went
back to the lodge and came back in the afternoon; he
had managed to lift the free part of the kill to another
branch and was feeding; we also came back the next
morning, and the kill was finished and he was resting
in the grass.
This shows the sheer strength these resilient cats
possess. having the power to hoist animals that weigh
more than them into trees. So, remember to always
have your camera ready and to be patient.
