LEOPARD CUB RUNS FOR ITS LIFE FROM HYENA

This eleven-month-old leopard cub that got sniffed out by a hungry hyena had to make a desperate run for its life - and was saved from death by a nearby tree.

The one hyena in a pack of four had walked past the young leopard who had been left hiding under a bush by its mother while she went out to hunt for a kill to feed it.

This nail-biting sighting was captured by 30-year-old, accountant and part time photographic guide, Moosa Varachia, while on a game drive on the S1 in the Kruger National Park.
Moosa tells Latestsightings.com the story: “We had just had an incredible sighting of a male leopard at the Nwaswitshaka waterhole and it was time for the dreaded drive to the gate which brings the end to the day. We stopped on the S1 and there was a young leopard sitting in the dense bush. We took some photos and videos and were just about to leave when I looked up and saw a clan of hyena approaching!”
“I knew that this situation may not end well for the leopard cub.”
But as this incredible footage shows, the alpha hyena catches the leopard's scent and turns and retraces its footsteps and tries to hunt out the potential competitor and then spots it.
The young leopard, realising its hiding place has been spotted and that mum is not around to save her, makes a sprint for safety but being so young cannot reach its adult speed.
The 40mph hyena, which was an estimated 5 foot long and 3 foot at the shoulder, and weighing 100lbs, would have easily taken the young cub out when it caught her.
But the canny cub spotted a tree and, using its claws, managed narrowly to outrun the carnivore that was out to kill it, and climb a tree and escape its hunter.
“It was an emotional roller coaster and I was extremely delighted to see the cub survive!"

@@OMtNI We actually know how smart hyenas are, they are very damn smart, they have scored higher than chimpanzees in certain problem solving tests. The commotion caused by the humans could pique the hyena's curiosity, these are animals that are known for observing the flying patterns of vultures to locate food...they might not be as familiar with humans, but they might be able to understand that human excited behaviour can also indicate something of interest in the area. Their senses of smell, hearing and sight are very potent and this is likely why they detected the leopard, but the human element can also play a part with such smart animals.

@Clint Dempsey there is a theory that predators and non-predators too only see the vehicle as 1 entity like they would see an elephant as 1 single entity. but if you were to stick your arm out the car with a piece of meat then you are essentially putting yourself outside of the vehicle, so the meat and your hand/arm could very well be ripped off in that situation.

They were most likely cheering because the cub was so young and avoided such a deadly situation, not because they hated the hyena.

@Levent.A Peter Parker had it correct. Lions can climb sure, but not well. The adults in particular are rather clumsy climbers compared to leopards and it isn't unknown for them to be injured or killed while doing it. It is a good thing too, because if lions were better climbers leopard numbers would be much lower.

The fact that humans are there at all interferes with whatever would have happened. Everything anyone does has an effect on everything else, if not directly than indirectly. For example, having running automobiles parked immediately near the animals causes them to move in different directions, and be influenced by smells and sounds that they otherwise wouldn't have been. Even a dirt road can cause an animal running from a predator to slip and fall.
