The leopard’s superior strength and sharp teeth gave it the advantage as it attacked the helpless little wild boar. The piglet was unable to defend itself or flee from the predator, until its mother suddenly appeared on the scene. With all her might, the mother wild boar charged at the leopard, delivering a powerful blow that forced the predator to release its razor-sharp teeth from the piglet.
The piglet was able to escape to safety with its mother, while the leopard was left helpless, watching as its prey escaped.
This stunning photograph was captured by Kooz Fourie, a South African photographer, during a visit to Kruger National Park in South Africa. Kooz, who is 60 years old and a South African national, recounts the experience: “We noticed a group of three wild boars running ahead of us. I stopped taking photos and focused my lens on the oldest one. Suddenly, I heard a piglet squealing and saw a leopard clutching it in its jaws. The predator was attempting to kill the helpless little pig.”
Kooz said that shortly after, the mother wild boar appeared from behind and slammed into the leopard and rammed the beast in the ribs. It even turned around once more to make the leopard forced to let go of the piglet.
Kooz expressed his joy at capturing such a magical moment in nature. Witnessing the fierce maternal love that animals have for their offspring taught him a valuable lesson. As the two wild boars escaped to safety, the leopard was left to watch from a distance, unable to pursue its prey any longer.
