A video shot in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia captures an extremely interesting sight of the natural world. A large leopard is risking its life to snatch pieces of raw meat from the mouth of a crocodile.
In the video, the crocodile appears to be lying motionless with its mouth full of meat, which makes it impossible for it to close its two sharp teeth. The hungry leopard despite the danger, approached and used its talons to grab a piece of meat – from a dead antelope in the crocodile’s mouth.
The first time, the second time, it seems that still not satisfied with the hunger, the leopard continues to attack the crocodile, in order to get all the meat in its mouth. Using the same old trick, scratching the face of the sleeping animal with its claws, the leopard this time won another large piece of meat. The crocodile seemed helpless as he let the other leopard steal his dinner.
The video was taken by cinematographer Nicole Dangoor next to a river close to the Mfuwe resort. “I’m a little worried about the leopard but this is the natural world, it definitely knows what it’s doing.” – Nicole shared. It is known that she had to wait all night to witness this scene.
