The Leopard Series

Leopards are dreaded for being a ruthless predator. But, here is an incredible story where the predator became the protector. This happened while NatGeo was filming 'Eye of the Leopard', a documentary on the life of Legadema - a leopard from Botswana - as she grows from a cute cub to a deadly predator. Legadema once killed a baboon for food. But when she saw the baboon's new born baby clinging to its dead body, her maternal instincts overtook. She carried the baby to the tree top to protect it from the hyenas, cuddled it throughout the night and nurtured it. Nature is truly amazing! #gokulnath_photography #leopard #wildlife #safari
