HEROIC LEOPARD MUM SAVES SON FROM FALLING
WITH VID
By Saloni Mathur
Watch this brilliant video where a leopard falling from a tree who is saved by his mother.
Marc Mol, a professional wildlife photographer, was visiting the Eastern Serengeti when he spotted two leopards, a mum with her 18-month-old son, "Hakika", stretched on a tree.
He wanted to capture this moment when he sees Hakika walking up to his mum for some snuggles.
Suddenly, this tender moment turned into danger, chaos and confusion when Hakika lost his footing on the narrow branch.
Hakika grabbed the branch with his fore paws and hung on to it while the mother tried to pull him up.
Marc from Queensland, Australia, said: “This situation quickly turned funny when dangling precariously from 10M (30ft) off the ground, Hakika, in attempting to save himself, accidentally clawed his mother.
“This started a fight between the two, adding to this comedic chaos!
“The pair fought tenaciously as her son clung on desperately before eventually getting his footing.
“Even BIG cats have 9 lives.”
