mackem 26,804 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 I think you would be hard pressed to find a better wildlife hunt footage clip anywhere,better quality yes but better subject?Its off the scale fantastic.Even the leopard and the dog,the pedestrian has barely passed,his feet are still in the upper frame when the leopard grabs the pooch.My mates sent me some trail-cam shots of cats,i will stick them up later when I have time.

I assume that cat must have some serious injuries after tho Think it may have used up a few of its nine lives at the least, but when you see that thing move across the ground it does make me chuckle when people suggest hound packs would have put them up if they were here, even the first one if the camera was,nt there not a single person would be aware of what happened to the dog in a busy street in broad daylight, they are such incredible things absolute masters of there enviroment, 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And look how much the tree has drooped during those few months, you can see the water source in the early shots but by the last ones it's out of shot, it's why I love camera trapping you learn so much about your enviroment, What part of America is he if you don't mind me asking, Link to post Share on other sites
