Tiger vs elephant: Langur vs macaque:  Mother cheetah protecting cub from baboon:  "It was a great sighting, with no one around. It got better though when a couple of baboons came over, and tried to kill the young cheetah. The mother protected the cheetah, and it was quite a chase for about 5 minutes. The young cheetah didnt have the stamina, so the mother was always getting in the middle. Jonathan was quite concerned the baboons were going to get the baby, but luckily they didnt." http://safaritalk.net/topic/5696-mara-trip-report-september-2010/ Jackal vs vulture:  Elephant vs black rhino:  Hyenas usurping wild dog:  Fish eagle vs (?)eagle:  Spotted hyena chasing brown hyena:

Python kills huge crocodile They had stumbled across a very strange shaped snake. Unfortunately for this snake, it had literally bitten off more than it could chew and had died in the process. Wanting to know exactly what snack the snake had chosen, somebody decided to cut it open. Out popped a slightly digested crocodile.    http://lemonyem.wordpress.com/2014/05/12/belly-full/ Edited by RojJones, May 28 2014, 11:50 PM.

The incredible moment jaguar leaps from river bank in bid to catch giant otter swimming below - but the slippery creature escapes
By TARA BRADY PUBLISHED: 01:35 AEST, 30 May 2014 | UPDATED: 06:36 AEST, 30 May 2014 This is the moment a jaguar was captured diving from the top of a river bank in an attempt to catch a giant river otter. After spotting a family of otters travelling noisily downstream, the sharp-eyed predator is seen stealthily making its way across the top of an 26ft river bank. Noticing the youngest and smallest of the group trailing behind, the fearless feline decided to make the most of its vantage point by launching into the water head first.  This is the moment a jaguar was captured diving from the top of a river bank in an attempt to catch a river otter But it seems that this is one big cat that might still needs a few diving lessons as the lucky otter managed to slip beneath the brown mirky water of the Cuiaba River in Brazil. Captured by Irish photographer, David Jenkins, 41, the mammals can be heard calling loudly to their youngest member of the family. 'My friends tell me what I've seen must be fake': Tourist who took a camera inside North Korea and expected to find 'really, really sad people' was shocked by the seemingly ordinary lives of its citizens Paws for prayer: Hilarious moment an Otter appears to thank God before tucking into meal Mr Jenkins said: 'The jaguar was resting when it heard the noisy otters making their way down river, it watched them pass by below until he selected his target which was one of the younger otters at the back. 'They were moving close to the river bank as they travelled and the big cat obviously saw a good opportunity and went for it.  The feline decided to make the most of its vantage point by launching into the water head first  The images were taken David Jenkins who spotted the jaguar on the bank of the Cuiaba River in Brazil  The jaguar takes a leap of faith into the water to ambush the youngest otter managed to make a quick escape 'It really was an incredible leap, I'd say the riverbank was around 8 metres high and it just launched at the otter head first. 'The jaguars are very confident in the water and often ambush prey jumping from the riverbanks. 'All the otter family survived this time, once they saw the predator they didn't hang around, the current in the water was very strong so they were able to make a very quick escape downriver.  The jaguar hits the water but the otter manages to slip beneath the water just in time 'In the video you can hear them making loud noises, they came back to make sure none of their group was taken and to give an alarm that they have seen the predator, the otters are tough animals and can measure almost two metres long. 'I think maybe the jaguar was frustrated but only briefly, I guess he knew he had just missed a good opportunity to make a kill. 'You need to be extremely lucky to be in the right place at the right time to see it, but a large part of being able to photograph incredible action such as this one is due to great safari guides as well as a lot of patience. 'I couldn't believe my luck, I guess this is one of those rare moments all wildlife photographers dream of but rarely get to see.'

http://blog.londolozi.com/2014/06/a-young-starving-leopard-takes-an-uncalculated-and-foolish-risk/     My Webpage  Logo Search for: FacebookTwitterTripAdvisorYoutubePinterestGoogle+ HOME ABOUT LODGES RECOMMENDED TOURS EXPERIENCE GOOD WORK STORE GALLERY BLOGS Enquire Now A Young Starving Leopard Takes an Uncalculated Risk by Richard Burman on June 2, 2014 in Leopards, Wildlife Emotion in wildlife always raises its head in trying circumstances and this day was no different. I was coming to the end of a five night private photographic safari with guest James Dayley and my good friend and owner of Red Foot Safaris Rex Miller. Dust covered and exhausted we were about to call it a day and head home when the radio buzzed, “WILD DOGS have killed an impala.” Any thought of calling it a day and heading home was now extinguished from our previously tired brains and a new excitement and energy pulsed though our veins. We raced to the scene, coming around a corner to find a pack of eight wild dogs ripping an impala to shreds, fighting and yapping over scraps. Excitement was at an all time high – our cameras smoking from the ever clicking shutters. A wild dog feeding frenzy is no glamorous affair but it does get the heart rate going and for avid bush lovers it is a once in a life time sighting. 1 2 After about an hour of intense feeding the very full dogs started to lie down and rest, and as if on cue the tiniest specks in the sky started to emerge and within minutes the sky was covered in a black cloud of vultures descending on the forgotten impala carcass as if they hadn’t eaten in years. The game was on, just as the vultures started to feed a dog would run in and chase them, then the dog would retreat and as he turned his back the vultures would then come running in. It was an unbelievable spectacle of strategy and attack. This game lasted for about 40 minutes when suddenly both dogs and vultures took off. 3 4 As if this sighting couldn’t get any better! HOLD ON! The scene erupted into a series of growls, branches flying, dust gathering and out of the bushes came a very angry, starving leopard. The Tamboti young female, barely one year old with still a lot to learn, decided that this was her chance, a very rare chance to steal a scrap. If she could get this, it could keep her going for at least another few days. Desperate, she grabbed the kill and started to make a break for the closest tree. As she gained on a thin bush willow tree she started to lose momentum and then as quickly as she had grabbed the kill it was stuck. The long dangly legs of the impala had got stuck! Desperate, we watched this young leopard try and free her kill before she got attacked. 5 The pack now sensing their chance descended on the young leopard, surrounding her and biting her back. What moments before seemed like an easy meal had now turned into the fight for her life. Suddenly a gap, the leopard sensing her chance and kill long forgotten, she made a break for the bush willow, getting into the tree seconds before the next wild dog attack. 6 7 8 The young leopard now safe but tired from the relentless chase. Quickly the wild dogs gave up. Sensing victory they moved off to find some shade and digest their impala. Very sheepishly the young leopard came down from the tree and instead of running away she ran straight back to the kill. The young leopard only had seconds to get the kill free from the bush and get it up the tree before the wild dogs attacked her again. By this stage the desperation in the young leopard was evident but the determination even more so. 10 11 Success! Finally the kill was safe in her claws and the young female leopard could breathe again and so could we. 13 Luckily for this young female leopard she managed to get a meal but learnt some valuable life lessons along the way! 14 Written and photographed by: Richard Burman Share on TwitterShare via emailShare Other Articles You May Enjoy SONY DSC Understanding the signs by Kate Neill on January 26, 2014 Thumb 7 days in the Creative Hub by Londolozi Guest on January 25, 2014 thumb The Week in Pictures #113 by James Tyrrell on January 24, 2014 Enter Email To Subscribe Connect With Us Friend me on FacebookFollow me on TwitterAdd me to your circlesWatch me on YouTubeFollow me on InstagramFollow me on Pinterest Live Safari Couture Book Live Safari Couture Book Download Our EBooks A Guide To Wildlife Photography Londolozi Eco-Guide Junior Big Five Tracker The Londolozi Journey The Tsalala Pride Leopards of Londolozi The Londolozi Cookbook Volume 1 Rent Photographic Equipment Photographic Equipment Rental Archives STAY IN TOUCH SITE LINKS Home About Lodges Tours The Experience Good Work Store Gallery Blogs Londolozi TV Enquire Agents Downloads CONTACT DETAILS T: +27(0)13 735 5653 (Lodge) F: +27(0)13 735 5100 (Lodge) T: +27(0)11 280 6655 (Reservations) F: +27(0)11 280 6656 (Reservations) E: news@londolozi.com Sparta Farm, Sabi Sand Wildtuin, Mpumalanga PO Box 6 Skukuza 1350 VIEW MAP GPS : 24°44’2.16”S, 31°33’35.81”E CONNECT WITH US Follow Me on Pinterest Certificate of Excellence 2014 WINNER TripAdvisor Londolozi Private Game Reserve © Londolozi 2014 - All Rights Reserved |

Poor dog and baboon. Baboons are no joke, they are very tough and have very long canines. |

Everything else is just a dog.

"Each requiring a uniquely different technique and the good dogs are those who learn how to appropriately deal with the different animals. A good baboon dog being the rarest of all, as baboons are quite adept at tearing dogs apart and inclined to do so, interestingly with their hands and feet more so than their formidable mouths. However, dogs that can kill baboons one on one do exist." www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/176507-lurchers-working-african-bush/ Baboons are seriously tough animals |
