Los leopardos cazan preferentemente por la noche y acostumbran a pasar el día durmiendo entre la vegetación, en cuevas de otros animales o, a menudo, sobre la rama de un árbol al que trepan con agilidad a pesar del tamaño que poseen. Por lo general suelen evitar en lo posible la presencia del ser humano debido al temor que les infunde.
Para el leopardo, el árbol es a la vez donde descansa, desde donde visualiza y caza a su presa y donde almacena su comida. Desde lo alto del árbol, el leopardo puede tender una emboscada a sus presas y también dejar la comida fuera del alcance de algunos carroñeros.

A large and powerful bovine, the African Buffalo reaches shoulder heights of up to 1.5 m and a mass of 750 kg. Both sexes have horns, those of the bulls are characterised by a heavy boss and upward curved horns.
Mainly preyed upon by lions. When a herd member is attacked, others will rush to its defence. Collectively a number of buffalo are more than capable to stave off an attack by an entire pride of lions. A wounded buffalo bull is regarded as most dangerous by hunters, and is one of the reasons why this animal is included into the so-called 'big five'. This trait is the origin of many hunting adventures, myths and legends.

This is amazing: Our tracker spotted this tiny little chamelon baby on a single blade of grass while we were driving at 25 km/hr ... in the pitch black. When pressed he said: I saw it because its color is slightly different than the grass. Incredible.
