A lost little bird wobbles onto a riverbed, right where a leopard cub is busy playing. The bird, knowing nothing better, walks right up to the leopard!

Benji Solms, guide at Serondella Game Lodge, captured the great escape on camera and shared it with LatestSightings.com.
“One of the resident female leopards in the area had made a kill on the banks of a dry riverbed. Her cub had joined her during the night and was now in the same river bed as the kill. We had been watching them for some time, and the little cub seemed playful as it ran up and down the river sand.”
“It all changed in a heartbeat when a few goslings appeared at one end of the river bed. They were walking straight to the leopard and her cub, and they had no idea! The cub noticed the movement, but luckily for the little goslings, they went into thicker bush. One gosling then decided to come out into the open, and that’s when the leopard went for it.”
“The gosling was able to use our vehicle as some cover and went under the vehicle. However, as soon as it came out from under the leopard, it caught it and ran off with it. The smart little bird played dead, and that’s when the leopard let it go. But as soon as it ran off again, the leopard pounced and once again caught it!”
“The leopard then took its prize up into a nearby tree, and we all thought it was the end for the little bird. Playing dead still, the gosling found itself up a tree and helpless. But luck truly was on this little one’s side, and he fell out of the tree. The gosling still playing dead, lying on the ground, hoping it will put the leopard off.”
“To everyone’s surprise, the leopard remained in the tree, closely watching the gosling. Seizing the moment, the gosling took a chance and ran towards the thick bushes where its siblings were hiding. Disappearing into the dense bush, the gosling successfully escaped the leopard, leaving the predator unable to locate it again.”

It was cute watching him look at her. :). I really feared for her when he picked her up. I was happy when she ran away! ❤❤❤❤😊

Despicables!!! You didn't do nothing for that innocent and helpless little duck , it looks you enjoy seeing what happens. What a human misery.
That’s why some animals pass out from fear it’s a genetic trait that has been passed down for a reason
Dessert
Look at the size differences…
That would be like you getting picked up by a 40-foot-tall monster
Don't get it twisted that duck could have ended that leopard if it wanted
The leopard kills his prey slowly. He loves his prey slowly. A slow, brutal relationship… one stalks and tortures the other for a prolonged agony, and the other eventually gives up all hope of escape, embracing the comfort of death, knowing what the leopard knows: it will eventually be eaten.
Duck 🦆: and thats how i got my spots😮😂

Sorte do bichinho que foi encontrado por um animal quadrúpede se fosse o homem sapiens provavelmente o teria matado.

The Leopard isn’t hungry enough to bother with such a small meal. Like other cats, it’s just being playful.
I really thought the bird was dead
Bird: Zooms off
Jaguar: Adam! Aaaadddddaaaammmm!
Disgustin humans put this litle bird around this animal
오리 새끼가 너무 작아서 먹을 마음이 나지 않았던 것 같습니다. 그냥 가지고 놀고 있었을 뿐.
Adam? ADAAAAAMMMM!!
