Mongoose makes narrow escape after sprinting into a leopard.
The video, which was shot on a live safari in South Africa’s Djuma Private Game Reserve last month, features a young leopard named Tlalamba and a very daring mongoose who managed to avoid an u.nfortunate d.eath.
Tlalamba is seen h.un.kered in preparation for an ambush just a few metres away from a group of mongooses towards the beginning of the film (yes, “business” is one of the collective nouns for mongooses).
Whether the inexperienced cat realizes it or not, the mongooses are on her tail, and the ambush a.ttempt was d.oo.med from the start due to a lack of cover to hide her form.
