An alarm call by a pair of Black-backed Jackals led us to this young male leopard that had just killed one of it's older pups. Quite a rare sighting, hearing all the barking and commotion brought a mature male lion onto the scene sniffing around the base of the tree, forcing the leopard to quickly snatch the jackal and attempt to secure his prize higher up the sausage tree, a special treat indeed.
Ruaha Nat Park- Tanzania.
