Ravenscourt vs Ottawa Pride - Battle in a tree!

Ravenscourt managed to kill a young impala, and hoisted in a nearby marula tree. Unfortunately for him, the two young Ottawa females heard the comotion and came running in, resulting in a battle high in the tree for the carcass! It dropped, but the fight continued for some time. Luckily all escaped without injury, except for the impala.... obviously!

Leopard, Lions and Elephants! Gosh, that was some sighting. How lucky were the guests...and guides. ❤

I have never seen a lion climb so high up a tree and fight a leopard at the top of it. 👍🏻

[@buffiesilver]

You know a once in a lifetime. Like when Ravenscourt male was mating and an impala came thru he stopped jumped in the air and grabbed the impala and straight up the tree. It was amazing!! This is one smart leopard.

A Lioness trying to take on the Ravenscourt male UP a tree is sheer stupidity. Yes she’s bigger and stronger than he is, but he’s much more nimble than she is up there, and he’s more than big, strong & aggressive enough to seriously hurt her.

[@luvmyaussie9561]

This girl and her sister are on their own since they were 1 yr 6 months, now they are 2 yrs circa 3 or 4 months old and there is no one to teach them how to hunt. How many lions of this age survive when they are in the pride let alone when they are on their own surrounded by other lions and lionesses who can and would kill them. Watching her confront grown leopard on a tree, she looks formidable to me.

[@RandySavagxe]

[@IceBurg375]

She climbed the tree pretty easily and got down safely, she also bullied the leopard into giving up his meal. I think he’s the silly one 😂

He did well to keeo her at bay, but being young & agile helped her down safely. Think she was just pissed he dropped it, instead of giving it up to her lol! Ellies at the right moment. Glad all safe 🤗😉👏🫶☘️

[@luvmyaussie9561]

On the contrary I think he just made her realize that she is more powerful than she thought, which is good for her survival and reminder to him that lions can and do climb trees, albeit not graceful or safe in climbing down. He is more efficient than most lions in bringing down the game. I am sure He rested and fetched himself another meal and I am sure he has had his share of steals and will continue to have in future. He will be just fine. Both kitties were thankfully alright.

Dear Ravenscourt pradus, although I know you much disagree, especially after your hard earned spoil but these two beautiful girls are young and vulnerable and are the sole survivors of the horrors they’ve been through only a few months ago that killed their two aunts, mom, three sisters and a brother. They are a miracle. Your loss will go a long way. Thank you!

[@blackice1796]

Can you fill me in on what happened?

[@buffiesilver]

Yes Nhenha and Nkuhuma male killed Auntie Othawa and Othawa JR'S mom. Then they kept looking for them till they killed the whole pride but these two in two months time. Sassy the mother of these two, of course got caught by her daughter Gingerella and the ximangwa female and they beat sassy up bad and the people decided it was best to euthanize sassy.

[@yuck4u]

Interesting... after the initial offensive attack - the lioness actually became defensive (ears backward) in her attack, I think she (lioness) felt cornered, because she was off-balance, uncomfortable and could not find a way to get down the tree, so she perceived the male leopard as a possible threat, and totally vented out on the leopard.

[@yuck4u]

@@Wisdom23 If you notice - her second attack on the leopard is launched immediately after she slips twice @1:13 and minor slip around @1:16, in that attack (and attacks that follow) she is clearly venting out her frustration at being stuck in the tree, on the leopard.

Lions lionesses are not climbers (As Kevin Richardson says, who has lions and leopards) while leopards are born to climb a 40 feet tree into 3 seconds. With an Impala in its mouth an amazing athletic performance. It was so amazing that the lioness tries it! Upwards is far easier as downwards....
