15.08.2023 Quella sera siamo stati al centro di una scena documentaristica impressionante che emotivamente ci ha segnati molto. La Legge della Natura è spesso selvaggia, crudele, senza pietà...ma alla fine tutto ritorna nella consapevolezza del giusto. Eravamo con la nostra guida Cephas, dopo il tramonto stavamo tornando dalla 'nostra' Leoparda con preda sull'albero delle Salsicce, eravamo soli. Durante l'avvicinamento Cephas si accorge immediatamente della situazione, la luce era scarsa, ma riusciamo ad intravedere tra la polvere 3 Iene che prendono un cucciolo di Leopardo e la madre nel mentre scende dall'albero per difenderlo. Pochi attimi. Il piccolo muore davanti a noi. La madre per sopravvivere ritorna velocemente sull'albero. Le grida di 'gioia' delle Iene le sentiamo dentro di noi, come l'ultimo vagito del piccolo Leopardo. Le scene che seguiranno saranno cruenti. Difficili da filmare e da fotografare. Le 3 Iene (una grande madre con due giovani figli) si spartiscono il trofeo. La Madre Leopardo (alla sua prima cucciolata) ritorna a consolarsi accanto alla sua preda. La Legge della Natura è crudele, impressiona, emotivamente forte...ma giusta. #wild #safari That evening we were at the center of an impressive documentary scene that marked us a lot emotionally. The Law of Nature is often wild, cruel, merciless... but in the end everything returns to the awareness of the right. We were with our guide Cephas, after dark we were returning to 'our' Leopard with prey on the Sausage tree, we were alone. During the approach Cephas immediately notices the situation, the light was scarce, but we manage to glimpse among the dust 3 Hyenas who take a Leopard cub and its mother while descending from the tree to defend it. A few moments. The little one dies in front of us. The mother quickly returns to the tree to survive. We hear the hyenas' cries of 'joy' within us, like the last cry of the little Leopard. The scenes that follow will be gory. Difficult to film and photograph. The 3 Hyenas (a great mother with two young children) share the trophy. The Leopard Mother (in her first litter) returns to console herself next to her prey. The Law of Nature is cruel, impressive, emotionally strong...but just.

The predator preyed.
It is true that no matter how strong you may be, you will always find someone stronger than you even if, as in this case, reality is only the passage of time ... Depending on the case, too much or too little, to defeat anyone.
An image in some ways terrifying but that nevertheless makes us reflect on the transience of things ... and not only animals
My compliments,
Paul.

P.S. - just a curiosity: the preyed one is a cheetah cub?

@Paolo: The one preyed on is a leopard...
Wow Fabio! What a moment caught!! Resounding.
On an emotional level, what was it like? Knowing your love for leopards will have been a hard blow..
Congratulations indeed!

A really hard scene, a remarkable and very significant shot.
Qualitatively indisputable, as you have accustomed us.
I think that Leopards have a hard life: Lions grow up, all other predators when they are small...
congratulations.
Greetings.

Very hard, Very beautiful. Nature has its own way, that's it.

Even :-o
I knew that cheetah cubs are easy prey for other predators, also given the limited possibilities of protection that the parents, in turn structurally very delicate, can put in place in defense of the offspring ... But a leopard is another story than heck!

Shooting very marking, congratulations. That's right: the law of nature is raw but it also has its own balance

A dramatic image like his story well told, many compliments,
I think it was strong both the impression and the emotion to see the scenes ...

The cycle of life, beautiful but brutal.
Emotionally strong and meaningful image. It is even more striking because this time it is the predator that is preyed.
Hello.

Shooting super, congratulations!
Adjectives like "cruel" are a human perspective, shareable, but not something intrinsic to nature.
Congratulations Fabio!
And thanks for sharing

Adjectives like "cruel" are a human perspective,

Francu is right.
It is wrong to call nature "cruel", just as it is to call the mountain "murderous" if a landslide falls or the rivers when there are floods.

This photo is an extraordinary ethological document.
