Leopard Eats Food Right Out a Crocodile's Mouth

Watch the incredible moment a leopard builds up enough courage to go up to crocodile and eat right from its mouth!

This determined and hungry leopard took extreme measures to make sure he got a piece of the croc’s pie!

This incredible moment of an opportunistic leopard stealing a crocs meal right out of its mouth was filmed by Nicole Dangoor, a wildlife film-maker at the Bush Camp Company.

Nicole was joined by a group of safari visitors on a night drive in the South Luangwa National Park. They stopped to watch a couple of crocodiles who were in the middle of a feast when a leopard crept closer to the crocodile with the bulk of the food, seemingly interested in what the crocodile had in its mouth.

As the light was shunning on the crocodile for a better view for the guests, the opportunistic leopard risked the chance and started biting and clawing at the pieces of meat dangling from the croc’s mouth, pulling out pieces of the meat and eating it!

After a few mouths-full, the leopard attempted one final claw, grab and bite and managed to pull what looks like a whole impala leg from the crocodile. This seemed like a fair enough portion for the leopard as it ran off into the distance to eat in peace. As the light from the safari visitors followed the leopard into the thicket, the crocodiles took the opportunity to make a break for the bushes to eat what was left of the meal.

Wow this is the best thing I have ever witnessed

[cristopher]

This footage is insane, I never thought something like this would be possible. Makes me wonder what hasn’t been filmed

[niels]

"Do you prefer to sleep or eat ?"
Crocodile : "Yes".

[squidstone]

😂😂😂 the way the crocodile and his minion started running off into the bushes in the end had me dead

[paolopasaol]

Croc: You want a piece of me?

Leopard: No, but I want a piece of that

[itsSmiv]

Smart as hell. They both know that if the croc decides to try to bite the leopard, it would loosen its grip on the meat and the leopard would most likely be quick enough to evade the bite while also stealing an even bigger piece than it did here.

crocodile: ahh some meat is sticking between my teeth.
leopard: let me fix it, no problem bro
:D

Leopard to crocodile: that's too big a piece of meat, u can't swallow it; u'll choke. Let me help u out.

[nungki]

How strong are you??
Leopard : i steal croc's food. *Right from his mouth.*

[Piece-O-Pie]

Croc: "No, no. I insist. Go ahead. I can't finish anyway."

[andrewhezekiahdaniel]

That croc must have fallen asleep eating.

The leopard reminded me of those bullies in school who would say, “Give me some of your lunch.” And then they would just take it without you saying yes to them. 😂😂😂

[danielobeirne]

That's why you shouldn't open your mouth when chewing

[Ayks]

Crocodile: I have successfully organised my food for today

Leopard: That's cool but I'm hungry

[saintsataniko]

Incredible!! Wildlife never ceases to amaze!

[rohitpawar]

MY GOD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE GOOD SIGHTINGS

[luckyluke]

Honestly I think The Croc is full and can not fight off the leopard and is willing to let it take some of the food off his mouth.

[raoeldawson]

croc in the morning: hey where's my food.
