We watched this leopard hiding in a clump of grass, possibly thinking of a baby baboon for dinner. Larrie noticed a ruckus in the trees and we wondered what was happening. Baboons were very restless and chattering loudly. Suddenly we saw baboons coming toward the leopard and we anticipated seeing the leopard rewarded with some food. The leopard moved to another bush and snuggled in to hide. Suddenly the leopard was flanked. A big baboon was on both sides and the biggest of all vaulted over the back of the bush. We learned afterward that a troup of baboons will mod a leopard and shred it, if thay can catch it. This picture is of the leopard running for its life. Pam tracked the action with her camera beautifully.
