Below, you can see the moment a leopard cub drops an impala from a tree onto its mother’s head.
Sabre Meeser, Sabi Sands, South Africa’s Greater Kruger National Park on October 25, filmed the video clip.
It shows the impala carcass being thrown from a tree by a leopard cub onto the cub’s mother below. This shocks her greatly.

The video clip, which was shared by Latest Sightings-Kruger, shows a leopard returning home to a tree, with an impala in it’s mouth.
The mother climbs up the tree with her stricken animal and her cub, where she waits.
The leopard and her cub move the impala higher up the tree, and later in this clip the dead animal appears hanging from a branch.
After being released by the cub, this dead animal is seen falling from a tree and landing on the mother leopard below.
The mother leopard was seen holding the impala in her mouth, before carrying it up to her cub.
After killing the impala and carrying it up into the tree, the mother leopard eats it while her cub watches behind.
The mother and cub of a leopard cub are seen savoring the animal, while the mother scourges the ground below.
The dead animal falls on the mother leopard’s head and is then released from the branch.
The mother gets scared when she falls into the air and then runs back to the carcass.
The video clip was recorded on the same date as a leopard cub running up a tree in safety after being chased down by a hungry hiena.
Moosa Varachia (a 30-year-old photographer and part-time guide) filmed the nail biting chase at the same park in October 25.
A safari party spotted the leopard cub, aged eleven months, hiding under a bush as its mother went hunting for food.
The clip shows one member of the group saying “There’s a leopard at the first bush in front” as a pack four of hyenas appear to prowl around their vehicles.
Before one can retrace their steps and catch the scent of the leopard cub, the hyenas start walking off down the road.
One of the people watching is aware of what is about and repeatedly says, “No, no.
The lone hyena then walks quickly towards the bush, where the leopard cub is hiding. As the young animal suddenly takes cover, it runs in close pursuit.

The cub’s age makes it unable to run at its full speed. However, it manages to escape the danger by clinging onto a tree and running up the tree to safety.
The cub, who is too old to run at full speed, is almost caught by the hyena. However, it manages to escape safety by jumping at a tree trunk and climbing out of reach.
The hyena remains at the base of the tree while the people watching cheer and clap for the dramatic escape.
The leopard cub climbs up the tree, away from immediate danger, and the hyena flees.
