Dinnertime can be a dirty business in the wilds of Africa when you’re a famished leopard.
In this incredible set of images, one of the majestic predators is more than happy to end up caked in mud for the sake of a meal … which in this case takes the form of a fish.
A leopard and her two cubs are looking for food among harsh conditions and strict competition. Hidden in the mud is a free lunch of catfish. So in order to eat, they must learn how to fish.
Inside every species of cats’ genome exists a natural recognition and desire to hunt and eat fish. That young Leopard might not have seen a fish before, but I bet his natural instincts were practically screaming for him to make that fish lunch.
“Leopard learns how to catch catfish.” Good, I’m getting sick of all these fake profiles on tinder.
