Most wild animals have one thing in common that allows them to survive in the bush, day in and day out and that’s the word “run”. They run to hunt, and they run to save their precious little heinies. If you want to see some amazing chases worthy of the best action films, keep watching, as we count down 14 magnificent hunting and chasing moments by wild animals.

Wild Dog VS Impala

Impalas are speedsters, but when you look at this wild dog chasing an impala through a body of water, you realize the dog is no turtle. It seems as if the impala has a harder time running through the water and this gives the dog the edge. By the time the impala reaches the river’s edge, the dog has caught up to it and you know what happens next. Another impala tries to escape the grasp of a couple of wild dogs as it jumps over some bushes onto the sand, but trips upon landing and the dogs are all over it. The wild dogs simply rip the insides of this impala while it is still alive. They don't waste any time dispatching it. They simply eat their way right through it. This wild dog corners an impala and easily grabs it because the impala has nowhere to go.

Like the world’s most renowned butchers, the wild dog, and his friends, dismember the poor victim in seconds and have it for lunch. This pack of wild dogs grabs this impala and pulls it out of the water at the speed of light, devouring the entire animal in minutes. This impala stands in inches of water thinking it will deter these wild dogs from attacking it. I’m not sure if this impala just landed on the planet or if its parents didn’t read her books on wild dogs during her formative years, but this impala is in trouble. The dogs jump into the water to get a hold of it, but some nasty hyenas change the game, and this may be helpful to the impala. The dogs hesitate and the impala has time to think about a getaway plan.

The leopard runs but eventually returns to challenge the two hyenas and they decide to chase him out of there. This brown hyena looks like it borrowed a costume from lady Gaga’s closet, but that doesn’t stop it from chasing this leopard. The leopard doesn’t stand his ground and sprints for the first tree he sees, climbing to the top, back to safety. I’m not sure if the leopard was afraid to fight the hyena or if he just was plainly terrified of what it looked like. This leopard mom is minding her business, playing with her cub, when two hyenas show up.

The mom is on guard and watches the scavengers’ every move. She knows her cub is vulnerable to an attack and will defend him at all costs. The hyena comes closer and smells the air, while the leopard watches attentively. The hyena continues to smell the grass but uses the tactic to get closer to the cub. What a sneaky and wise animal this hyena is. The leopard lets out a few warning growls when the second hyena arrives. The hyenas mind their business, but you kind of feel, they’re just waiting for the right moment to strike. This hyena gets too close to this leopard and the leopard lets her know it. The hyena backs down, but for how long
