    Leopards are among the top ambush predators, and this is a good example. The antelope has barely even registered the fact that a leopard is there, and it's neck will be broken in a couple of seconds, or even less than a second.

    Love these guys ▫️▫️ African wild dogs, also known as painted dogs, are highly social and cooperative animals. They live in packs with a dominant breeding pair (alpha male and female) and exhibit strong social bonds, characterized by cooperation in hunting, caring for the young, and tending to sick or injured pack members.
