As they searched for the leopard, they soon spotted her and her two playful cubs. Carol described how they noticed a lioness crouched near, seemingly watching the leopards. At first, they thought the lioness was focused on a wildebeest in the dance, but it became clear she was targeting the leopards.

The leopard fought back strongly, biting and kicking at the lioness. In an amazing moment, she managed to grab the lioness’s leg, which made the lioness jump back in pain. With the lioness dracted, the mother leopard seized the chance to escape with her cubs. She quickly climbed a near tree, just as the rest of the lion pride arrived. They tried to reach her but failed. Luckily, one of the lions caught a wildebeest, which diverted their attention away from the leopard.
