A female nyala antelope senses danger and raises an alarm, alerting her herd to a hidden leopard nearby. Although the leopard remains perfectly camouflaged and waits patiently, the nyala’s vigilance and warning calls reduce the predator’s chances of success.
When the leopard finally launches her ambush, she reacts a split second too late, and the nyala escape uphill with ease. The failed hunt highlights how early detection, alarm calls, and group awareness can save prey—even from a highly skilled predator like a leopard.
