The cheetah painfully died on the spot when an antelope pierced its heart with its 2-meter-long horns
In the animal world, there is no shortage of situations where the prey seems to have been defeated by the hunter, but somehow turned the game around and regained the victory. This is probably when their survival instincts wake up.
In a video posted on youtube, which has attracted many viewers, a scene shows an adult Gazelle being surrounded by a female leopard and two cubs as they hunt in the savanna.
In one segment, antelope seems to have received a “death sentence” after being fatally bitten by a leopard in the neck, then using its body to swing up, to pull the prey down.
However, it can be seen that the cheetah still lacks the strength and endurance to bring down the prey.
Meanwhile, with toughness and fierce resistance, the antelope put strength, pushed the leopard to the ground, then used its sharp horns to ram the enemy.
The slow motion shows that the antelope’s sharp horns seem to have pierced the mother’s skin and breastbone, injuring important internal organs such as the stomach, lungs…
Getting a fatal blow, the leopard let go of its prey, and watched it run away in regret.
However, right now, the leopard has one more worry that is its very serious injury after the fight, causing it to face the death penalty, because it cannot continue to hunt, as a harsh law of nature.
