Unimaginable footage captures a newborn fawn mistaking a hungry leopard for its mommy…
In a surprising and heartwarming moment, a baby impala encounters a leopard. Rather than showing fear, the young impala appears intrigued, nuzzling the big cat with charming innocence.
Captured by Gareth Nuttall-Smith in the MalaMala game reserve, witness the shocking scene of an impala baby nuzzling up to a leopard. Perhaps the leopard wasn’t ready for its next meal just yet, or maybe it wanted to first play with its food. The fawn doesn’t seem bothered by the imminent threat.
These two unlikely companions share a moment of tranquility, the baby impala finding a friend in the typically fierce predator.
The leopard gives its new friend a quick sniff, deciding if the calf is perfect for mealtime. The impala baby stares straight into danger’s eyes, unfazed and completely relaxed.
This leopard has its tongue sticking out, adding an extra touch of cuteness to the scene. In hot climates, leopards may stick their tongues out to help regulate their body temperature, similar to how dogs cool down by panting. Sometimes, they might simply stick their tongues out when they’re feeling relaxed or playful, showing their contentment and calmness.

The leopard gently paws at the impala as it snuggles closer. The baby impala might even mistake the leopard for its mother, highlighting an unusual and heartwarming bond.
The curious leopard paws at the fawn, just as a domestic cat would do with a toy mouse. It most likely had its claws retracted to avoid alarming the innocent calf.
After a chase, a leopard might be too tired to deliver a fatal bite right away. With young prey that doesn’t stray far, the leopard can take a breather and make sure it’s safe before finishing the hunt.
We suspect the leopard was sleepy after the thrilling chase for this impala, which is why it isn’t yet ready for a swift bite. The fawn appears to be mistaking this wild leopard for its loving mother, showing no fear at all.
The baby impala’s trust is evident as it snuggles close to the leopard, its curiosity overcoming any instinctive fear. Leopards have powerful jaws capable of crushing bones, yet here, it displays a gentle restraint, allowing the impala to explore safely.
Intrigued, the leopard gives the fawn’s face a sniff, almost as if to test if its dinner needs some seasoning. It slightly opens its mouth, wanting a brief taste of the calf.
Exhausted from the chase, the leopard takes a moment to stretch and let out a wide yawn, while the little calf stays put.
The leopard gives an adorable yawn, preparing to devour his soon-to-be meal. The fawn doesn’t show any survival instincts or shock at the large jaws in front of it.
The impala calf, bursting with excitement as it prances about, gets a gentle reminder from the leopard. With a calm and steady paw on the calf’s back, the leopard helps it settle down.
The impala fawn moves away slightly, but the leopard lays a gentle paw on it to keep it close by. The leopard is soon ready to pounce.
