Peril

Peril - At the end of the dry season the waterholes are drying up leaving only mud behind. Occasionally a calf such as a wildebeest will get stuck trying to cross the mud. We came across a leopard feeding on a calf that was had been stuck and abandoned. The meal didn't last long as a clan of hyena quickly found the site and chased the leopard away.
