See Two Crafty Leopard Team Up to Trick a Hyena and Steal Its Lunch

Ever heard the phrase “get a taste of your own medicine”? Typically, this phrase has to do with something someone regularly does that usually isn’t right or nice, and then the tables are turned, and that exact thing gets done to them.

Well, in this video posted below, we see that some leopards gang up on a hyena to steal his meal. This is an oxymoron if we ever did see one. The hyenas are typically known as the thieves in the animal kingdom. But, here, the tables are turning, and the hyena is the one experiencing being stolen from.

Hyena and Leopard Sighting in Africa

Hyena Vs. Leopards

At the start of this video below, we see that one leopard is approaching a hyena to try and steal the kill that he has. The hyena is quickly angered and approaches the leopard to fight with him. But, unbeknownst to him, there is a second leopard that, during this fight, steals the kill! Talk about teamwork.

Do Leopards Work Together?

While this video evidence might make us assume that leopards do work together, this is actually an unusual occurrence to see. Unlike lions, who live, eat, and hunt in prides, the leopard is a very solitary creature.

By 12 to 18 months after being born, the leopard is ready to venture out independently. While this might seem cruel to us to abandon a baby that is just 12 months old, it’s not cruelty. This is the way of the wild, and the leopards are fully able to care for themselves by that period.
