People Shared Their Worst Experiences at the Beach and We Couldn’t Stop Laughing
Let’s Go Flying
This jaw-dropping image will make you wish for a holiday at a game park in the grasslands. The images and video show a quickwitted bird escaping the jaws of a hungry leopard just in the nick of time. I was captured by Paul Rifkin and Lauren O’Dea during a trip to the Serengeti, Tanzania.
Leopards hunt their prey by either ambushing or stalking them before making a move. In this case, the stork was wandering happily on te ground, unaware of the leopard hidden among the grass waiting to pounce. Once it noticed the preditor and started flying away, the leopard sprang up only to miss by a few inches. Lucky day, Birdie!
