Not possessing the same speed as the cheetah, the leopard is still a dangerous and fearsome predator thanks to its ability to stalk silently to approach its prey. The diet of the African leopard can include rodents, antelope, deer, birds, primates…

Despite possessing size, weight and strength superior to leopards, wildebeest is still one of leopard’s favorite prey targets.

When she saw her baby being attacked by a leopard, the mother wildebeest was not afraid of danger, quickly rushed to use her horns to knock the predator to save her baby.

Realizing the opportunity to come, leopards immediately rushed out, aiming at the wildebeest to attack. Panicked by the sudden appearance of the leopard, the mother and daughter immediately ran away, but the baby antelope was quickly captured by the leopard.

Realizing that her baby was attacked by a leopard, the mother wildebeest returned, using her horns to ram the leopard to rescue her baby. Being attacked by surprise, the leopard had to retreat, accepting to give up the hunt.

Leopards are independent predators, so they always seek to avoid unnecessary conflicts, because if injured in battle, leopards may find it difficult to continue hunting and cannot exist in the natural world. That’s why in the above case the leopard quickly retreated, instead of continuing to fight the mother wildebeest.
