Leopard hunt baboon in the broad daylight

Leopards are amazing hunters that use their speed, strength, camouflage, and stealth to catch their prey. They can hunt in different ways, depending on the situation and the type of prey. Here are some facts about how leopards hunt:

Leopards are opportunistic hunters, meaning they will eat almost anything with flesh on it. They prefer medium-sized antelopes like impalas, but they also hunt fish, birds, wild pigs, amphibians, reptiles, monkeys, and rodents1.
Leopards often ambush their prey by hiding in trees or bushes and waiting for the right moment to pounce. They can also stalk their prey by moving slowly and quietly in the tall grass or behind cover. They try to get as close as possible to their target before making a brief and explosive charge123.
Leopards use their claws and teeth to kill their prey. They usually bite the neck or the throat of their prey to cause suffocation or bleeding. They can also swipe their paws to knock down smaller prey like mice or birds2.
