Wildebeest Tries Saving her Injured Calf From Leopard & Warthogs
Watch the heart-stopping moment a leopard spots a sick newborn wildebeest and tries to take it, but the mother is having none of it. While the leopard takes a break, warthogs come and try to steal the wildebeest for themselves! This battle took place for over 5 hours yesterday in the Kruger National Park.
This incredible sighting was captured by Nadav Ossendryver, 24-year-old founder of LatestSightings.com, while on his drive in the Kruger yesterday with his friends.
Here is the story of what happened: “Yesterday, the 18th of Jan 2021, I went on a drive with a few of my friends, Avi, Sam, Josh, Adam and Michael. We entered early morning at Phabeni Gate and decided to head south in search of Wild Dogs. Seeing Wild dogs was our mission! We had actually seen 7 leopards the day before.”
“Just after we entered, we spotted a leopard in a tree. So, we were all already happy about how the day was going. But, after that, we went for a few hours without seeing much game. It was getting quite hot, and, we were worried that all the animals were already sleeping in for the day. But, in one second, it all changed! We saw a pack of wild dogs next to the road! Our mission for the day was complete!”
“At the wild dog sighting, my long time friend and ranger, Jean Graham from Discover Kruger Safaris, called me and told me that she found a wildebeest calf that was injured, and that there was a leopard hanging around. This sounded really interesting, and so we decided to go there and check it out.”
“When we got there, the mother wildebeest was hanging around the calf and keeping guard on it. Vultures had started circling and landing near the scene. Next thing, we spotted the leopard walking toward the calf. As soon as the mother saw it, she gave charge! The leopard then ran right towards us and lay in the bushes.”
“While the leopard was taking a break, a family of warthogs then came and started eating the wildebeest calf! At one point, the warthog took its tusk and punctured the calf, giving them access to some meat. The mother wildebeest thought she was done defending her calf from the leopard, but now she had to defend it from warthogs too!”
“On the other side of the road, loads of vultures were landing, and suddenly a hyena ran in and grabbed an impala and started eating it. There were so many sightings happening at once, we just couldn’t believe our eyes.”
“After waiting for a couple of hours, the leopard eventually saw an opening, when the mother wasn’t looking, and ran in to get the calf. The leopard walked closer to the road and started feeding. It was the inevitable end to this interaction.”
Thank to Shaun Etsebeth for the incredible series of photos!
It's quite dangerous even for an adult wildebeest to be separated from the herd. She prioritized her calf more than her safety.
True. She separated herself from the herd Caring and nurturing mother

*Really*
I've heard less talking at a super bowl party.
I like your sarcasm very much! lol
kzhead.info/sun/hsiTec16g6aNmWw/bejne.html
HAAAA
🤣🤣🤣
I love how the people were vocalizing every single thought that came into their heads.
Loved it, but i watched without the sound. lol. Thanks!!
Thanks for documenting raw wildlife. Love this channel🤗
Except for the people in the background that won't shut up. If you're gonna talk that much then don't even bother recording. Respect to all the people who don't talk, and let the nature speak for itself.
@@JukesMcGee It's just a bot lol
*These animal fights are like watching a wildlife boxing match... with feathers and fur flying!*
The Calf must have been badly injured by the initial leopard attack.
Best Chanel I've ever ever seen in KZhead
Yes...
Very beautiful attack Video
Yes,I agree
Animals are such agreeable friends-they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.
Wish they would shut up while recording..
So true
Mute
Nah, you want a silent documentary, you PAY for a silent documentary.
Hate hearing their accents!
welp just mute it
This really is the best channel, always with them fresh vids 💪🏾
Even Pumbaa came to the party
Best thing about this channel is that the clickbait titles are actually 100% real
Then its not clickbait...
@@mortzon5681 Good for you. I recognized the same error in thinking and lack of logical writing. But I can promise you the remark will not be edited to correct it, or best of all, be deleted.😖😫😆
@@mortzon5681 that's the joke, dude.... damn 😐
Pumbaa, what are you doing!? That's not a bug! Jokes aside, this was sad but also interesting to see, mama did what she could but it's the circle of life. Also those warthog piglets were so adorable.
I m from indonesia I like animals😍😍
For dinner?

Leopard is beautiful
1.11 Leopard thinking : " when I should come back to the dining table " 😄😄
The wildebeest did what it can. But can't stop animals instint is the wild life law! Do or die period; leopards are amazing my favourites for sure👌
kzhead.info/sun/es9qYs6jgIB4dmg/bejne.html
Fantastic sighting! Thanks so much for sharing!
the piglets are so cute though
This one gets an Academy Award for the most inane commentary ever. I thought only American teenage girls were capable of saying OMG that often.
I love this channel. Great sightings 👌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very nice Video
Anyone else spot the black thing running around the background 3:18?
What is it?
Yes it’s a hyena
Some of these camera angles are just amazing
"This is the one I wanna just watch." Then shut up.
EPIC! sighting💙Sensational I enjoyed the commentary too😂 Thank you👍KS😚
We were all very excited 😂
Most viewers would wish they'd shut up for a sec
@@mattsrealitycheck6669 Hello, yip not me! I'm a bit of a fan of an Afrikaner accent & ...........
fantastic footage, fellas...well done
Glad you enjoyed it! It was incredible to film.
Not sure if the car horn was deliberate or not but that was enough for me. We didn't need the constant narration thanks.
How did it get injured?
Go and ask the calf
Really beautiful footage. Many greetings Jacq
Lepoard: finally there is no gnu omg what's that gnu I think it's the mother ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Baby gnu: mama you the best there was a cat after you came mama he was a scaredy cat
Hog: u can easily defeat leopard give us protection plz
my poor Xavier, reaching to reach out on youtube and 9gag too much but your time has past :(
kzhead.info/sun/es9qYs6jgIB4dmg/bejne.html
The warthogs want to eat the calf, not ask for protection from the mother.
A stark reminder of how harsh nature is.
סרטון מדהים כמו תמיד, אתם אלופים
Thanks.
Warthogs: support means kindness gnu but you have no respect to us how rude
Considering so much action supposedly going on, there wasn't much seen on video!!!!
Jungle have a life and feelings too.
Big city people commentary....
cringe right
you can tell they have the latest digital gadgets in their pockets
Dude was like this is a movie I was like umm nope this is real alright
kzhead.info/sun/es9qYs6jgIB4dmg/bejne.html
Amazing Video
To be eaten by a leopard is fine. But by warthogs? Hmmm, not really
I know it threw me way off
Its my first time to see warthog eat meat. I thought they eat grass!
pretty sure it grabbed the placenta, and that calf was a newborn.
Warthogs will eat meat if the option presents itself. For instance, ambushing a baby animal, or finding an unattended carcass
How many videos of warthog eating baby antelope do we need to see before we stop calling warthog, herbivores 🤦🏻♂️
Guys filming sound like commentary from NASCAR, not a safari haha
Omg! That guy talking!!!
Please serve this party some tea and cookies ?
Very cool!!
Next video: warthog gets eaten alive by wild dogs…..🤣🤣🤣🤣
The person who was talking in this video the most I was like can you please shut already let me just watch this and hear only the breeze sheesh
Warthogs don't play
The family paid their respects. Mother Wildebeest did her best. For a second I thought that Pumbaa's cousin and his family had come to do the same, but that was not the case. 💯💯
If it was a lion do u guys think it would still be There trying to save him?
Yes
yes
You bet your.... that Kruger's thumbails are real
فيديو جميل 👌😉
Don't take the talking guy with you next time.
I'm glad the leopard claimed it, I can't stand warthogs. Disgusting creatures...
I didn't know warthogs feed on other animals🤔
Wildlife very good I want to see
How did the warthog even 'cut it open' or did the leopard already do that?
it didn't. pretty sure the warthog grabbed the afterbirth from a newborn calf.
Thomas Neal ah k ty
0:46 smmfh they blew the gahhdamn horn wtf 🤦♂️🤯
Can the leopard please eat the human beings?! Much oblige!!
Is a tough world for herbivores
For everyone
How do you think the carnivores die? Hospital bed/nursing home surrounded by family? Either the get old and weak theyll starve to death, injured while hunting followed by slow death from the wounds or preyed upon by other carnivores, even members of the same species (cannibalism).. everyone gets eaten one way or another. Also, there are couple of herbivores that no amount of apex predators mess with. Rhino, elephants, (unless very compromised due to age/health but even then its not worth the risk for a carnivore to pursue)
American level over 9000
Как жесток мир!
Didn't know warthogs ate meat
all pigs are omnivores
Yip, they are omnivors.
Pumbaa ate bugs in The Lion King, and bugs are technically meat, this shouldn't suprise people. Warthogs and other pigs are omnivores and they'll eat anything.
Lots of OMG 😱
where's the mute button again?
Definitely not one of those" Wait for the end"
Only at Kruger
小隻的被偷襲~😢
mother wildebeest used all her strength against with the leopard and warthogs to save her calf
Hard to ignore a free meal.
Whats with these annoying teenage photographers !!!!!!
nature does not waste DNA.
Stop crying about them talking just watch the shit and put it on mute if it bothers you. Y’all really that worried about somebody else’s enthusiasm while watching something we all wanna see ?
That happened in the Kruger National Park, near Afsaal picnic place between Berg en Dal and Skukuza
Boa noite
These are the most annoying and disruptive tourists I've ever seen... Being loud, beeping the horn.. Acting like spoiled children
God's love and special plan 😂🤣😂
Wow
You seen why you should not eat pigs
Too much noise gang
Calling him flaming would be an understatement.
😂
Well, oh-my-god, let's chat about this, oh-my-god.
shame they moved before witnessing the final capture
O cara filmando não fecha a boca um segundo sequer, fiquei torcendo pro leopardo trocar de caça, ou pro guinu dar no meio do jeep
✔️✌
Islam is a testimony that there is no god to God and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger
A 5 hour battle.. wow.. Nature is HARSH.
Yip! We were there for 2.5 hours.
Leopards are supreme. Agile, smart, low key, work alone and always take calculated risks. I cannot think of a better analogy for elite military units, the likes of Navy Deals, Delta, or SAS.
Интересно кто нибудь из животных там своей смертью умирает. Ни родить, ни поесть, ни попить, ни поспать, ни посрать спокойно нельзя, все пытаются друг дружку съесть.
Ужасно, просто земля плача. С детства не понимала, для чего рождаются на свет бедные животные. Чтобы стать пищей для других. Смысл их страданий на земле? Смысл их существования? Каждый день - страх и борьба за выживание. А конец один.
The people in the background of this video are so irritating, giving stupid useless comments. Just watch it and shut it.
Did not no war hog eats other animals
Yes people, warthogs eat meat.
Yup, they're true omnivores. They can graze on grass and munch on fruit, or they can slurp up slimy yet satisfying bugs, or they can tear flesh off a carcass. If it's food they'll eat it.
Why are these people so loud? 😠😠
😔😔
At least there was a happy ending. Good for the leopard. Maybe, the mother should have tried tossing the calf around with its horns a few times like in that other video.
kzhead.info/sun/es9qYs6jgIB4dmg/bejne.html
In many occasions, the calf was injured by its own mother while the mother was trying to charge the predators and trampled upon her own baby accidentally.
Cawabunga
Just hear to read the whiny comments . Amazing how much if it there is on here lol
Simply don't shout oh my goddddd while observing wildlife next time :)
@@Condud1 nice lol
I hate those wild pigs! The leopard should've attacked them.
Had to stop watching this about a minute in. I just for once wish, people could just shut up and watch what nature does
