A Warthog fights off a leopard and 5 hyenas in this monumental struggle for survival. Video creator and wildlife enthusiast, Christopher Tosi, lucked out when he spotted a leopard on the S25, approximately 1km east of the S26 junction, in the Kruger National Park.
Showcasing the "Jewel of South Africa" Chris has spent 86 days in Kruger and has managed to raise R8.6mil for Smile Foundation. He shares his story with LatestSightings.com: Send in your wildlife video here and earn money: www.latestsightings.com/partn...
"Concentrating hard and intent on finding a good sighting before reaching Crocodile Bridge, I was driving at 30km/h with all the windows open. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the unmistakable flash of a leopard's tail and torso. I remember how tense everything about it was. Every muscle and fibre of the leopard was contracted. A split second later, the screams of the warthog began."
"An epic battle of tug-of-war ensued. Neither the leopard nor the hyena was letting go of the warthog, who continued to wail in agony."
"When 3 more hyenas came charging in. Without hesitation, the leopard instantly gave up the warthog to protect itself from harm. The battle was not over. The warthog now had to defend itself against 4 hyenas, frothing at the mouth for blood."
"Eventually, it made it into the safety of its burrow but I can't help but think that he had a long night to endure. It's an incredible feat for 1 warthog to fight off a leopard and 5 hyenas!"

Respect. That Warthog showed a lot of guts.
Ah yes...In a few days the wild dogs would know all about his guts😂😂😂😂
I see what you did there :))
Noooo 😭
That scream is gut wrenching
Though you've been wounded and bruised, keep fighting. The will to live can be a powerful motivator!
Unfortunately, Hakuna Matata is something nature does not agree with.
Hahaha 🤣
So true! Both in the animal world and amongst us humans as well.
hahhahhaahhah this comment lol
it means no worries
@@floridacracker_ That's the lyrics of the song, smooth brain.
The heart of the warthog he is really a fighter
These warthogs are incredibly tough! What other creatures could survive that!
Unfortunately, I don’t think it survived that, just wasn’t eaten…
@@JamesSmith-qe1mn yeah the injury was very nasty. If it didn't die of infection something else would have eaten it
I remember when this channel was called, "Kruger Sightings". I guess the park realized how beneficial revenue from KZhead can be In their conservation efforts. A smart pivot on behalf of the park/channel.
He's done for, no way he's surviving in the wild with that injury.
hakuna matata
IDK what's worse. Being eaten alive or a slow death that last days
These animals are super tough, he might actually survive this just fine
@@Latestsightings Wow
@@MonteMind Bruh 💀
Great footage !!!
It's a pity to see this warthog... even facing one predator is already difficult, let alone having to face many wild predators
These are tough as hell fights.
It was wasted energy and risking injury for the leopard to continue trying to down the warthog after the first hyena showed up. No way would it have allowed it to feed.
True! But sometimes they do feed together. But when the other 4 arrived, the leopard was out of there.
bruh. ONE hyena can’t bully a leopard 🤦🏽♂️
@@Niggalodeon323 it happens all the time 💀 videos all over KZhead of leopards (especially females) getting “bullied” by hyenas, even the males can’t take a single hyena but they do put a better fight than females…again videos are on here of it happening so it’s no denying it
@@Niggalodeon323 Yes they can.
@@Niggalodeon323 leopard won’t take on a hyena. Even a lioness won’t take on a hyena. Only a male lion will take on a hyena
The first hyena was just trying to take a free meal while the leopard was making effort.
Every time I visit a restaurant and order myself a nice, juicy pork chop, I am thankful I don't have to fight leopards and hyenas for it. 😁
Amen to that mate.🤣🤣🤣
@@paulibakker8880 we are omnivorous animals and need nutrients from meat for significant body function. Edit: And why does he have to tell the pig how ez it is for him to eat it compared to other animals.😂
@@paulibakker8880 If cannibalism is legal, I wouldn't mind buying some Pall Hill meat to eat.
Pork meat very bad for you. Unclean meat. Don't eat it.
@@paulibakker8880 I mean we don't have s choice. We need protein. Although, we can get that from cattle, lamb, goat, deer and antelope instead of swine
Portrait format and inane narration, what a fabulous combination! Congratulations, a true winner.
I've seen videos of leopards killing warthogs just by biting a huge hole in their chest and they bleed out from massive trauma. Takes 20 minutes, but I've seen it on video. Warthogs are tough. Their skin is very thick. They have sharp tusks that will slice you wide open. Warthogs are no joke. Lions are huge,they can easily take warthogs but for leopards it's a battle.
When you win the battle but lose the war
how does that apply in this case?
@@petter2474 The warthog got back to safety in its burrow (winning the battle for its life against leopard and hyenas) but not before receiving fatal wounds (losing the war to stay alive long term)
Imagine how tough this warthog is
Whats the update with this warthog did he manage to survive?
Stay on him, and keep us posted if Hog survives that wound.
Unlikely
Would you survive that kind of wound? No way
I would guess that hog will die of either blood loss or infection, assuming predators dont reach him first
it didnt look deep, it just looked like the skin was ripped off.... it is possible he could survive but infection is a huge risk
It's African Bacon, it wasn't born to survive.
Hyena: hey bro need some help with this hog? Leopard: hell yeah, this one won't let me get the throat.. Hyena: you hold the head and I'll eat my way to you 🤣
Talk about a threesome. And she was a big ole Hog. Lolol
Doubt it had long before succumbing to those injuries.
These videos just make me wonder, without weapons... What animal could we take down? Seriously without our intelligence we wouldn't be that high on the food chain. Our teeth and claws (nails) are weak!
Our intelligence are our teeth and claws
I think if humans didn’t come down from the trees, we’d be extinct. Leopards probably would have taken us out
@@Shine-wb6ll No our brain is our intelligence! Our nails are unable to tear many animals flesh! Our teeth can't even eat meat unless it's cooked tender! Please think before you type next time!
@@TONEakaSHOW out teeth can eat meat just fine. I can eat raw meat perfectly.
@@TONEakaSHOW I think you misunderstand him, Shine wasn't saying we have strong teeth and claws. He's saying that our strong intelligence makes up for our apparent lack of strong teeth and claws, i.e. our "intelligence is our teeth and claws" metaphorically. Also we evolved from a common ancestor with apes like chimpanzees, so our physical abilities like strength, endurance, and climbing trees were probably much better at one point hundreds of thousands of years ago, and as our intelligence increased, we didn't need the physical abilities as much.
Hyenas are just savage gangsters in the wild
how do i watch full video?
Nearly choked on one end, and eaten out the other end. And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...
Divine justice god is all love
Ned Beatty in Deliverance!
Poor guy, what a warrior, but I doubt he survives after the chunk of flesh that the Hyenas ate off his side & belly 😥
For some reason the noise reminded me of my old remote controlled car
Think I saw a large patch of skin is gone?? Poor warthog
...and his butthole was ripped apart.
Hakuna Matata
1:16 "what time do we leave here? " 🤣 Poor guy is trying to make it to work on time. Hahahaha
That why pork is soo expensive...tough to take down 😂😂😂😂
Warthog has power
seriously? missed the shot of how it escaped?
Warthogs got it so bad. It wasnt enough that they're ugly.
You know they also eat other animals alive😂😂
Am I the only one who finds warthogs oddly cute? 😅
@Cintron productions Yup mate only you
@@cintronproductions9430 same here pal...
You go warthog!!
In order to survive, salute the warthog's determination
Warthog Screams…. MEDIC!🗣
He may survive, but he isn't breeding any more.
Молодец, кабанчик! ))
This live action spinoff of "Lion King" starring Pumbaa looks really good, I hope it doesn't get cancelled any time soon.

"What'd you just call me?" "Oh no, they called him a pig..." "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" "Shouldn't of done that....." "THEY CALL ME, MISTER PIG. AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!"
eine gute Aufnahme
Warthog had his skin peeled . Gluck
If i am Warthog i would prefer Leopard 🐆 over the Hyena
Y?
@@littledudefromacrossthestr5755 probably because Hyenas are relentless and have one of the strongest bites. In comparison, the warthog may be able to fend off the leopard or die a somewhat less gruesome death.
@@littledudefromacrossthestr5755 Leopards kill before eating, Hyenas don't!
@@littledudefromacrossthestr5755 because the Leopard would kill it first before it eats it, the hyenas would eat it alive.
@@anthonyt425 nope... A warthog has a much higher chance overcoming a spotted hyena, than overcoming a leopard. Unless it's multiple hyenas like 2-3 or more... There have been multiple recorded instances of a leopard taking down a warthog, but I have never seen or read about a lone hyena taking a warthog down...
That's some tough Bacon
And some leopard fanboy is telling me a leopard can beat a lioness one on one or a jaguar can kill a male lion😂😂😂
Jaguar fanboys are delusional. You got them thinking they can take on adult crocodiles just cause they hunt caiman.
An old/injured lion would kill a leopard.
@@rightguy200000 yeah like it doesn't get dumber than that tbh.
A leopard has never killed a male lion although I think I did hear a rumour of something like that happening at a zoo somewhere. Leopards and lionesses have however killed tigers before.
@@groenrizla2513 and how would that have happened if they don't live on the same continent? Even if it were geographically possible there is no way a leopard could kill a healthy tiger
Teamwork
Damn that warthog should have keep it peace ✌️ now how he going to survive even 24 hrs with that injury 🤕
Warthog Go Brrrtttttt
I've seen 2 separate videos of a leopard and a hyena sharing a warthog meal, it was only 1 hyena though..
Are you sure it was a leopard? I think the video you're referring to is the lioness + hyena eating the warthog.
@@I______2004______I Yep, I never confuse leopards with lions... I've seen the hyena feeding with the lioness video too on a much larger prey animal though
@@I______2004______I this is the video of hyena and leopard sharing a warthog kzhead.info/sun/ns6PgrhvgoeYe5E/bejne.html&feature=share&EJGixIgBCJiu2KjB4oSJEQ
With an injury like that and 5 Hyenas. That hog is dinner. Maybe not right away, but no way a pack of Hyenas would let it go. They will either wait outside until it come out again or just drag it out of there when it weaker
Then they'll continue trying to eat it alive 😔
🇧🇴 👀👀Bolivia es la ley de la naturaleza la presa y el cazador 👀 saludos cordiales desde Sudamérica Santa Cruz bolivia 🇧🇴 👀👀🤪👀👀
sir live seen dikhaye
I wonder if there's any way to fight off infection, maybe some water and mud could help the wound.
i wouldn't want to leave with no balls😨.
portrait mode. fail. people should learn how to use their phones, especially with epic catches like this. sad.
Tough little guy.
I see leopards are actives nowdays
That's why they call them WARthogs
Pumbaa lives another day.
No bacon for lunch today.
That's why I like lions and tigers, warthog ment for them
Hyenas don't wait for plate cup spoon, they eat pizza with raw hands
Pumbaa is in trouble, where is Timon?
👍
One tough pig! D:
The warthog sadly will eventually die probably by infection.
When he was a Young Warthog…
what time do we leave then? 🤣
This vertical video misses & limits our view of what's going on. It is unfortunate that the person recording the video doesn't know how to turn their phone sideways, horizontal. They have the money to get to Africa and be "on safari", but lack the intelligence to record a video properly.
Happy ending
(🐗🇷🇺 and 🐯🐺🇪🇺🇺🇸) 😂😂
God showed his grace and love here
Nature can be cruel
The warthog was seriously injured..not sure can survive or not
Let's be real guys that warthog bled to death
Not likely ,hogs are tough bastards , and a couple scars will barely slow it down Heck , knew this pig of a neighbour , got mauled by a bear that kept coming into the farms at night , had 2 big chunks of meat just ripped from his back , and scars all over the sides , but after a couple antibiotics , he was just fine , and lived something like 10 years after that, cause he became sort of a local icon , so no one wanted to eat him
@@andidinu1456 lol oh yeah after a couple biotics huh ? Go give that hog a couple why dontcha
Yeah. Hyena did the most damage. Ate its Ass. Lolol
That's still a death sentence right?
Warthogs saved by hyenas 😂
I always root for the warthog 🐗
Talk about bad luck Porky...
Sound of death is horrible

Who's shooting these screen on camera goes to hell
Yeah there’s no surviving a injury like that unless he’s going to a vet. His whole liver and intestines are exposed. I’m sure he will suffer in agony for days until he dies in his burrow. Harsh world but it’s reality
There's no need for Commentator...🙄
So shouting, always helps if you are a victim. I'd yell police police police :)))
Not always! These shouts brought hyenas in, but it could have also brought lions in. That would have been way worse. He was lucky.
WARNING EARPHONE USERS. Yeah. too late.
I better not be reincarnated as a warthog in my next life
I know his hiney hurts
But hyena ate all it's buttocks. De warthog should have just chilled and the hyenas finish de remaining body parts.
Where's PETA. ALL THIS ANIMAL MEAT BEING EATEN.
Once again, another vertically challenged recorded video, from a "video creator" and "wildlife enthusiast" no less..... When will people learn?!?!?!?
👀🤦♀😩
I hope the Warthog survives.
Why? Do you have an appetite for Warthog meat?
@@Dutti215 What do you mean ? I want the Warthog to survive.
@@Mapogo792 In order for you to eat it later at a dinner table in a restaurant maybe
@@Dutti215 Maybe you not me.
@@Dutti215 weirdo
Not sure it will survive after that injury, it may or it may not! But I’m almost sure those hyenas castrated that warthog! 😂
fights off? should say mutilated LOLOL
ICIKIWIR
It absolutely sucks to see this kind of thing! It would be so amazing for all this unholiness on this planet to end and to see the lion eat straw just like the bull. Isaiah 65:25.
Never blabber such ignorant things you vegan. Don't watch videos of which you don't understand anything. Carnivores creatures are necessary for a balance on whole Earth.
