Leopard Playing with Steenbok Lamb

This morning my guests and I experienced something unbelievable.

This morning a call came over the radio that the Hlaba Nkunzi female leopard caught a new born steenbok lamb and that I should get to the sighting as soon as possible.

Upon arrival I was greeted by one of the most amazing sights that I have ever witnessed. The female leopard caught the day old lamb and was playing with it for almost 40 minutes before killing it.

Raw indeed but animal behaviour at its best.
