If we talk about the world’s most ferocious and dangerous animals, then this list includes the names of creatures like lion, tiger, cheetah, leopard, crocodile. Their hunting method is also very scary. They are expert in hunting even creatures bigger than themselves. Cheetah is at the top in terms of speed, but leopard is also no less. When it does not find any prey to eat in the forest, it also turns to water. Sometimes it catches a crocodile by jumping into the river, and sometimes it eats a big fish. One such video captured in Kruger National Park is becoming increasingly viral on YouTube, in which a leopard is trying to catch a fish in the muddy water to satisfy its hunger. He works hard for a long time, then only he gets success.
This video has been uploaded on the official YouTube channel of Kruger National Park, Latest Sightings, which was captured by Candice Pappin. Candice often visits Kruger National Park in South Africa. Whereas, this leopard has also grown up in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve of this park. Candice often saw that when this leopard was hungry, it went near a small water pond. One day Candice followed it to the water pond, but did not find anything special. Some African species of catfish were present in that pond, which have made themselves capable of surviving for many days even without water. They survive by living in mud. The leopard had understood this.
According to Candice, one morning when he was passing by a pond filled with mud, he saw that the leopard was also standing there on the branch of a broken tree. Candice thought that he was standing there to drink water. But immediately understood the whole matter and started making a video of it. The leopard suddenly descends into the muddy water and takes the help of its paws to catch the fish. But does not succeed. In the video you can see that the leopard also puts its mouth in the mud many times. But the fish runs away from its clutches. Not only this, the leopard’s mouth also becomes black due to the mud. In this way, the leopard caught a total of 11 small fish and kept them outside. But the birds present near the pond took them away.
The leopard’s hunger was not going to be satiated with these small fish. In such a situation, he kept roaming in the pond continuously in search of a big fish. After working hard for a long time, he again goes down into the mud. But this time the biggest fish hidden in the mud comes in his mouth, which he immediately comes out of the pond with. He goes straight on his way after holding it in his mouth. This video is being watched a lot on YouTube. So far this video has been viewed more than 33 lakh 50 thousand times within a few days. At the same time, 42 hundred people have liked it, while hundreds of comments have come. Commenting on the video, a user has written that it went inside as a leopard and came out as a black panther. Another user commented that these fish covered with mud can save the leopard from starvation.
