Graeme Mitchley, 47-year-old Deputy Principle of Hurlyvale Primary School, discovered this exciting encounter while he was in the Kruger National Park ᴄʟᴏsᴇ to Lower Sabie.

He said that he had been observing a leopard on the opposite bank of the river. It was obviously stalking and ʜᴜɴᴛing. A nearby herd of impalas caught his eye, and he realized they had caught its attention. The impala herd suddenly dispersed, and there was dust everywhere! When he saw the leopard carrying a bushbuck carcass into a neighboring tree, there was a lot of alarm calling.

He caught sight of activity in the river out of the corner of his eye. Additionally, two male lions were running in that direction after seeing the leopard carry the carcass up a tree.

One of the lions made the decision to climb the tree since it desired the leopard’s prey. The leopard narrowly escaped its grasp and climbed higher, taking the ᴋɪʟʟ with it because it wasn’t going to let the lion have any. The lion swung his left paw in the direction of the ᴋɪʟʟ. The lion decided to descend after quickly realizing he was in a hopeless situation.
