Leopards not only possess formidable speed on the ground, but are also an exceptionally good climber.

In a rare video recording the dramatic chase between a leopard and a monkey in the Sabi Sands Reserve (South Africa) shows the full skill of this animal in adapting to the environment. challenges that nature brings.

Interestingly, the monkey also soon discovered the hunter and it followed the leopard’s “every move” from above. When he saw that the leopard was about to approach, the monkey actively kept his distance, and moved back and forth between the two trees growing next to each other to make it difficult for the opponent.

On the opposite side, the leopard has to move several times to the ground, then climb to the opposite tree in the hope of closing the distance with its prey. However, no matter how agile the leopard is, the monkey is always one step ahead.

Leopards decided to make a bolder move. It begins to make branch-to-tree jumps to get closer to its prey. This strategy worked, and left the monkey extremely bewildered.

In the end, the leopard’s agility and bravery paid off in the final jump, when it leapt to a height of several meters at lightning speed, leaving the monkey completely surprised and unable to react.
