To survive in the wild, in addition to strength, animals also have to use their “brain” and fierce battles for prey.

The natural world is a place that witnesses fierce competition for survival every day and every hour. Especially in locations that are considered to have the harshest weather and climate conditions such as the desert, in order to survive, many animals have created extremely unique ways of self-defense.

The interaction between predators or predators and prey affects the evolution of the prey itself, especially organisms at the bottom of the food chain. Can be divided into two main types of defense: protection of body morphology and behavior (behavior).

Protecting body morphology involves structural body adaptations such as the development of horns, spines, venom, claws, teeth, fangs and toxins. Some defensive morphs use aspects of prey appearance to avoid detection. These strategies include camouflage and mimicry. Defensive behaviors involve adaptive anti-predation behaviors performed by prey animals to avoid being eaten as a self-preservation instinct.

Leopards are notorious predators in areas from Africa to Asia. Although quite modest in size (about 2 m long and weighing 30 – 90 kg when mature) compared to other big cats in the family, leopards are blessed with agility. and very good climbing ability.

A leopard in its prime can run more than 60 km/h, leap more than 6 m horizontally and jump 3 m high, can dive down on prey from tree branches and it can also hide. in an astonishing disguise.

According to statistics, the leopard has the highest hunting success rate among its feline cousins.

Thanks to their very good climbing characteristics, when leopards hunt prey (antelopes, monkeys, porcupines…), they will often carry the prey and climb straight up a tree before eating it. This is to avoid being robbed of prey by other formidable predators such as lions, hyenas, African wild dogs…

It can be seen that leopards have many characteristics quite similar to Ninja, a term used to refer to organizations or individuals specializing in secret activities and once popular in Japan, which is agile and often operates in the dark. However, it is not too strong when dealing directly.

Thanks to his skillful skills, a small leopard was able to protect his meal from hungry hyenas.

Tour guide Khutso testified the entire interesting story and recorded it. That day, the guy was following a hyena when it led him to where a leopard and her mother were having lunch. The shy mother leopard was unable to protect her achievements against the aggression and threats of an animal that specializes in stealing other people’s prey. However, the cub’s cleverness and stubbornness caused the hyena to be humiliated and leave empty-handed.
