In one image, a 160-pound leopard can be seen up a tree carrying a visibly frightened three-week-old lion cub in its mouth. Hyman used a Fuji XT-3 camera to click these amazing pictures from 10-15 meters away. Scott tells the story: "During my safari, I came across a male adult leopard on the road and started following it for well over an hour as it meandered until it suddenly stopped," said Hyman. "The leopard suddenly leaped into the dense brush and seconds later sprang out with a lion cub in its maw. "It sprinted down the road, cub squirming, and up a nearby tree around the bend by the side of the road. "It held the lion cub firmly in its jaws, and bit into the cub’s skull, ending the cub’s life, and proceeded to devour it piece by piece, headfirst, gradually working its way down the carcass. "The leopard dropped one of the tiny legs as it ate, but continued devouring the lion cub, bones and all." Leopards are opportunistic feeders, they eat a variety of animals and usually hunt on the ground or in trees.
