Climbing down to finish off breakfast.
A leopard had stored her meal in the tree for three days, he had killed a sub-adult warthog which is a very rare meal for a leopard as they are mostly known for killing antelopes. We found him in the early hours of the morning finishing off the meal when suddenly it fell off the branch as it could not hold on it any longer. We watched him struggle to hold the meal tight onto the horizontal branch but because it was now too little, it was in vain. It then quickly climbed down to finish it on the ground.
