Africa's Most Secretive Big Cats | Leopards Of Dead Tree Island | Real Wild

A dramatic, real-life tale of three leopards plays out in Botswana's Okavango Delta. This is prime territory for Africa's most secretive big cat and although leopards normally avoid contact with each other, one island is the common hunting ground of three individuals as they are drawn together by the changing seasons and the movement of their prey. What unfolds is an in-depth portrayal of their private lives; following the tension, drama and in the end, heart-wrenching tragedy as all three seek one common goal - to dominate one of the Okavango's most prized leopard territories.

When a cute Leopard baby dies like the poor cub with the broken leg is something going to my heart and fills my soul with sadness. I'm loving Leopards and it hurts when a cub or an adult Leopard dies or get hurted. This is simply the truth that Leopards are closer to my heart as other animals or even human.

@@zimbabwe_twinnedwithanfield Bro you're particulary right. I agree. But a human is able to control everything around which some amazing animals aren't. It's breaking my heart when Cougars get shooted or the unbelieveable beautiful Amur Leopard or Tiger for selling their fur very expensive. The poor animals have a right to live like a human. A human is save when not going to the wild where these animals live. So the human should let these Lions and Leopards leave alone where they belong.

I remember now, I watched this doc years ago. my heart broke for the mother, she lost everything. her cubs, territory and mate. it was painful to watch her leave. It's amazing how much power these big cat docs have years, even decades after being made. i would have loved to know what happened to the mother. the son also.

[@amandalamb2283]

This show absolutely amazed AND broke me. Those poor cubs. I cried when the first baby didn’t come out, and cried even harder watching her try to encourage her last one to get up and then when that sweet girl finally got free & just dragged her little self under the trees and didn’t get up again, I had to take a ten minute break to compose myself because it really got to me & I’ve watched ALOT of these types of documentaries where at least one baby doesn’t make it but this one really got me. Maybe its because she lost both babies, idk but fuck that was hard. I would have loved to have gotten another ten minutes at the end to hear what happened to Tippa(Teppa?) & where Mozweyo went as well. I know this was filmed in 2010/2011 & I tried looking things up but it all just shows this doc so if somebody knows what every happened to these 3 main cats, I would love to know!

Life of cats are always extremely challenging, I've watched multiple documentaries of Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Cougars, Lynxes, Snow leopards, Jaguars and Tigers. All of them struggle and often has to deal with sad tragedies like this. Leopards and cougars are the most successful and wide spread cats because of their intermediate size, adaptability in any kind of habitat and vast variety of prey preference.

[@RustCole01]

​@@starfarah3572 The people who film these docs spend days at a time, basically tucked away in a hide and are about a kilometer away. Besides the fact that they are probably not equipped to launch a rescue mission, they would put themselves at serious risk if they tried to get at an injured animal. Not just by exposing themselves, but by trying to get between wild animals and something they view as a meal. It's a bummer for sure but these people are usually out there alone. Intervening just ain't an option.

[@anauticalgate5496]

I'm sorry , but I cannot see why the film crew could not have intervened by taking possession of the last cub with it's broken leg,snagged on the tree.

[@alexburke1899]

I don’t know what the unwritten rules are nowadays but in general documentary filmmakers aren’t supposed to intercede and help the animals or people they’re documenting because it often defeats the purpose. If they had helped the Cheetah the documentary probably wouldn’t have the same emotional impact on people, and maybe it helps the cheetah’s more overall for that one cub to die because people having an emotional reaction might lead to them wanting to help or donate money to protect them. Nature is just brutal anyways and we shouldn’t hide that or edit in real time by interfering, unfortunately young animals are almost always the best targets for predators so there’s a bit of survivor bias always watching the young die. I used to film ducklings sometimes and more than half of them would usually get eaten by hawks, which was a bit sad at the time, but that’s just how nature is and you just root for the ones that survive to adulthood and realize half the babies are destined to be food for other animals. I think the cub had a broken pelvis so there isn’t much they could do unless they were an animal surgeon and even then I don’t think they could save it. Also I don’t think it was easy for the filmmakers to watch, it’s easy to get attached to animals after so many days filming but they knew the cubs fate was sealed and all they can do is document what happened.

[@taylormadechamp]

I hate it when people say things like this. You can’t be that oblivious. Humans aren’t to interfere with wildlife, we’ve done enough damage to their ecosystem.
