Being able to see a leopard stalking a wildebeest, first hand, has got to be the moment of a lifetime: but the twist in this story makes it even more memorable. Let’s just say that your respect for wildebeest will probably sky-rocket in the next two minutes. (If you find yourself sympathising with the leopard, this footage of an epic aerial attack should restore the balance.) Usually amateur footage of amazing wildlife moments is, well, amateur: shaky, too much zoom, and the the distorted shrieks of “What’s it doing?! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!” from someone’s excitable aunt in the background. The fact that these guys know what they’re doing makes it even more enjoyable to watch.
