Leopard Launches Into Air to Snatch Impala in Mid-Flight!

A leopard jumped metres off the ground to snatch a bounding impala out of the air sending it crashing to earth. Steve Jacobson was on holiday with family in Balule National Park, South Africa, on February 2 when their guide spotted a leopard stalking on a hill. Incredible footage showed the moment the prowling predator suddenly ducked down low waiting for unseen prey to approach. As an unfortunate impala came running over the crest, the leopard leaped off the ground and tackled the animal to the ground before puncing on him at the bottom of the hill to finish the hunt. Steve said: “It was an absolutely amazing sighting. It appeared to happen out of nothing. “I have seen other hunts on safari, but nothing like this before. “We were so lucky that we had pulled up at the right place and at the right time. Unfortunately for the impala, I don’t think it would have thought the same.” Subscribe to Wild Sightings here - https://bit.ly/3O2qSMi Click the notification button so you're first to see our brand new uploads 🔔🔔 To find out more about the stories behind the videos, visit our website - https://wild-sightings.com/latest-posts/ For more videos like this, click here - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLanFhHUmYf76A7pXx4F3sXueTR5SxRD1z&si=b9VbeuRPFDQLYZcc All videos are available to license without commentary and subtitles.
