Leopard stalking a prey in an acacia, Serengeti National Park, Tanzania - stock photo

In the Serengeti National Park, it is relatively easy to contemplate these beautiful sfelinos up close, together with lions, buffalos, elephants and rhinos forming the group of the so-called big 5. The leopard feels so comfortable in the trees that it usually takes its prey to the branches. Thus, it keeps them out of the reach of scavengers, like hyenas. It also hunts from the branches of trees, where thanks to its color camouflages perfectly between the leaves until it gives the somersault on its victim.
