Motherhood. Leopard kills a baboon with a one day old baby. Then, an unusual transformation. Watch this 2006 clip as it happened while the film crew was documenting a leopard named Legadema for three-and-a-half years in her natural habitat, the Okavango Delta of Botswana.
The film crew kept watch through the night. "Several times, the baby baboon fell out of the tree," says Joubert. "Each time, Legadema raced down to pick her up before the hyenas descended, and carried her back up to safety. Watch this clip.
Heartache: The next morning, the film crew found the baby baboon lifeless. It was too young to survive without its mother.
