Caspar Siebel, a student and photographer, filmed this once-in-a-lifetime sighting during a trip in Sabi Sand, part of the Greater Kruger.
“My dad and I were the only guests on the safari vehicle, and we’d only seen birds for most of the morning’s drive. Then suddenly, a leopard with intent came walking along the road,”
“He quickly rushed across the road in full hunt mode, which brought a rush of excitement to all of us. Our guide decided to circle in the direction that the leopard was headed. After tracking him for about half an hour, we finally found him near what seemed to be a warthog’s burrow.”
“This was the perfect setting for an epic wildlife sighting, but no one knew just what we were in for… The leopard snuck around the burrow and created a commotion at an entrance opposite us. He was trying to draw them out to the entrance closest to our side, and that’s exactly what happened! The father warthog was the first to leave and darted out as quickly as he could into the bushes. This is when I pulled my phone out and started filming.”
“The piglets tried following their father but were sadly just too slow, and by the time the first had gotten out, the leopard was already there, and he quickly grabbed it. The second piglet came out too, but after seeing the leopard with its sibling in its mouth, it froze in fear.”
Leopards don’t usually risk losing their kills and would normally take to the trees as soon as they manage to catch something. This time, things were different...
“The leopard dropped his first victim, knowing it was too injured to go anywhere, and quickly grabbed the second piglet, sadly sealing its fate too. The story doesn’t end just there though, incredibly, the mother warthog, who was still in the burrow, chose the worst possible time to try and make an escape from the entrance at the back. The leopard had already immobilized both her babies and as soon as he heard her, he dropped the second piglet and quickly pounced on her too!”
“Everyone in the vehicle was completely silent for a moment; an entire family was gone. The leopard made quick work of one of the little piglets and then stashed the mother and second piglet in a nearby tree.”
“This was a very sad sighting, but it’s something I will never forget, and I feel blessed to have witnessed nature’s chaos play out in real-time.”

That was a hunting technique, he knew the mother would come to the babies cries and waited...
You are so right. That's why he kept them alive. Amazing.
@@boxsterman77 Hahaha... it's not that smart. It only immobilzed them. All predators do this.
yeah i dont think the leopard actually planned that
wrrr
Leopard is tired of being messed with by hyenas he will leave some warthog near by for them
Looks like it's gonna be eating pork chops for the next few nights.
What are pork choops
@@KingJCJ it's a specific cut of meat from a pig, kind of like a pork steak
You had my stomach hurting😂😂😂
I’m rather partial to pork chops myself.
Provided it doesn't run into lions or hyenas.
The footage was cut too early what the heck?
Agreed, the footage does not fit the description at all
there should be any user that uploadid entirely
The camera man was next
It’s insane how the Leopard went for the mother right after and brought her down almost instantly. Warthogs are a powerful and deadly prey item for Leopards. Better take that up the tree fast.
It's impressive how fast it was able to take down the mother.
@@EarthIsFlat456 True, especially since adult Warthogs can put up a big fight.
Warthog moms can be very protective of their piglets. She uses her razor sharp tusks as a defense weapon
@@KyairEnnis547 Those tusks can reach up to 1 ft. long and give the Leopard a fatal piercing.
@@AdventureswithLandonfake news you spread while in reality its just a pig and nothing else
Leopards are great hunters but the hoomans in the noisy truck are a great wingman
Leopards are so beautiful
True
I agree. For me, the leopard is the most beautiful of all wild cats.
@@BrainyySmurf I dunno, I would pick the snow leopard or jaguar first
@@Nintenboy01 Well those are my top 3 for sure
For me is the tiger
The master hunter. Leopard's hunting skills are insane.
Yes, killing kids is insane.
No, he was lucky.
@@DinnerForkTongueoh stop
@@terrencetaylor8851 I don't question the skill in hunting one pig. But three is very much a luck thing. Don't deny it.
@@evgenysemenov6051 I don’t know which place are you from but what you promote is not good.
this is actually a pretty smart hunting technique..
i mean if other predators hear the commotion or smell the carcass he might be able to put one in his mouth and run away while the scavengers fight over the other 1 or 2
That's the first thing I thought as well!
I didn't think about that at all. Good observation.
Leopard just got a family bucket meal!
None of that Hakuna matata nonsense here.
Simba wasn't around this time.
Timone was no where to be found.
😂 💀 yo that was wild even for me 😂
The Leopard wasn’t greedy. He was saving some for his Hyena homies
😂
Aren't you the consummate smart ass?
Don't think they ain't in the hood, they hear that squealing!
It is sad to see them suffer but it is part of nature
I actually think their squeals are funny
Then you probably have some mental problems.
they don't suffer, after the 1st bite the body goes numb with shock
I love the title, Greedy Leopard. How about hungry, dont know when he's gona eat again, Leopard.
I get that they have to eat and it's how nature works but it's heartbreaking to watch.
That’s exactly what I said too. Heartbreaking. 😢
You people are way too soft and why watch anyway if you don't like it ,the name of the video is literally leopard kills warthog family you click on it only to complain in the comments I never understood people like you
@@Shyne282 Nothing wrong with them showing some emotion, they are not complaining
0:29 leopard looked back and said: "You're next". 😅
if only.
wheres the rest of the video?
The warthogs just gave up. They were depressed that their Hollywood debut was filmed vertically.
What a shame.
Yawn
Understandable.
Get into 2000’s and film it properly!
Poster: "You're a greedy leopard, you eat too much pork"
Leopard: "A human... look who's talking"
That leopard is a family annihilator!
I was reading about familicide earlier today, and I saw the word "Family Annihilator". Yep!
Right, leopards are a psycho killer. They show up out of nowhere and try to kill everything moves. They even attack herd of predators including lions alone and try to hurt one of them as possible and quickly run off. It killed many humans too. People in the local villages hate leopards and hunt them and if they manage to kill one they celebrated.
@@bolatsabikhan8127Don't write nonsense! Leopards are not like that, they are dogs.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@bolatsabikhan8127take your meds bro Jesus Christ 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I bet when that leopard first spotted those warthogs, the first thing he thought was "Pork City."
I guess not everyone prefers turkey at christmas 😂
Nobody eats Turkey for Christmas
Even at a young age warthogs are as tough as nails!
The piglets are meant for midnight snacks !! 😂😂
Stocking up on pork! Smart cat!
I feel like Pork Chops all week😆😋
Leopardo: "Wha...Hey...tourists, listen, ill let you mind your business If you dont interrupt me in my lunch, bad moment for Interview, im afraid 😅"
Leopard doing a Costco run for some bulk warthogs.
we've all had bacon. it's def the one meat where being this greedy is certainly understandable.
Unless you're a muslim 🤣
Bacon's worth the greed.
Chicken is better.
@@Shark_Toothed_TherapodThat is factually incorrect
@@n2ocalico226 chicken >>>>>> every other meat. This is scientifically proven fact of life.
Sicario in beast mode, literally.
Brutal AF 😱
Yeah it was.
Where are those who say animals are better than humans .
They are
We are animals too... But we are better simply because god chosed us above all other species... But we are animals too...
The little ones were the appetisers and the mother the main meal, smart leopard
I wonder,.if there is a full version of this
Pork for Breakfast,, Ham Lunch , Warts for Supper .
I understand that's the way of nature but still my vegetarian self couldn't be prepared to watch it. But it's a part of how our ecosystems work and how energy moves to higher trophic levels. Still it's the most heartbreaking thing I've ever watched.

Leo : You want some?
Tourist: Yaaaaawwwww
Incredible!
People need to stop using words to describe nature that humans use to describe humans.
That leopard better hurry up and eat before the hyenas come and snatch them up.
Nice job!
why you cut filming ? it was interesting to see the whole thing !
I know it’s nature but man that’s horrific
That leopard is a bad-ass 😊
He’s not greedy he’s just having fun
I had a working dog that did this once to a raccoon den. Little furballs and blood everywhere. So traumatizing!
I am missing the PUMBA from DISNEY.
The leopard probably has a freezer
The Title cracks me up.
This Leopard do be hella greedy though
My boy got a large 20 piece spicy 😂😂
The first hog learning Brazilian Jujitsu, rolling on the matt 😂
Baby back ribs… how ironic that an Outback steak house ad played before I watched this video !!!
One’s for the bacon in the am, the other for the pulled pork sandwich for lunch, and the other for pork chops dinner!
Video doesn't look full?
This is nature at work ♻️
Zero warthog fuxx were given!
Wow nice feast for this evening bring on some friends!
The mom was most likely in a state of shock.
She was In a state of becoming a bacon sandwich.😂
this is our beautiful wonderful earth.
How many was in that family?
Bro a triple kill was done :0
When mom says “stay inside” that’s why
kameran ve önde oturan arkadaşı tebrik ederim güzel iş
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Did the leopard crack the piglets' skulls, hence the spasms? The leopard and the piglets are so cute
Not so cute of a dying piglet unfortunately 😔
@@DesertEagle90 They still look cute when dying, because of their chubbiness
Yes, you can hear the 2nd baby's bones crack.
@@ssrikantphotographer The leopard's jaws must be very strong or maybe the piglet's skull is fragile
@@containedhurricane Their jaws are stronger than those of a lion....
Where’s the full video
Where is the rest of the video??
Leopards are more dangerous to human than Lion. It's because you can read a Lion as it's a social animal. Also Lion is not afraid of you. Leopard look at you as a threat and they're solitary animals. So that's zero indication of what it's going to do.
Amazing recipe
Easy and short, specially for Ramadan
How often do warthogs have litters?
Please until the end…..don't leave us halfway…😡
They did all they could do. Beautiful and sad at the same time 😤
The way the one baby hog rolled down the mound, 😂
Rip baby warthog
Amazing
Before the internet and UA-cam was a thing, I watched National Geographic and other nature shows on television and was always really fascinated with watching apex predators such as leopards and other big cats hunt warthogs and antelopes, crocodiles devouring zebras and wildebeasts while trying to cross because it was nature and interesting, but the older I get, the more difficult it is to watch apex predators hunt and kill. This was especially brutal to watch at this moment.
3 is company! 😻
why does it cut in the middle of the action? bs
Greedy? Don't make me laugh😊, he got a bonanza!
It freakimg waiting for the mom. These animals intelligence is no joke.
What a powerful bite force
Amazing video, thank you very much 😊😊😊
Why the hog sounds like it’s saying. “Hanna Montana!! Hanna Montana!” As it becomes a meal!! 🤦🏽♂️ 😂
There's a difference between greedy and securing meals for the next few days... remember that when you go shopping... do I just grab one meal or something to hold you over for awhile..
🤔😏
wow! amazing footage
Damn, that's nature's version of upsizing your combo.
Free catering for hiennas
Piglets are leopard's Pringles: You can't eat just one.
It is beautiful to see mother nature doing its job...but is not when a stupid camera man recorded behind of a stupid guy with a backpack..blocking all the Action...
Pumba whole generation gone in on leopard king movie!
Thats good. Warthogs are invasive species and continues to grow in great numbers.
Invasive species in africa?
@@mistertwist He is trying to sound smart to justify the wiping out of the warthog family.
Grt catch by leopard
Start: late
End: soon.
Record: not clear.
Worker: Welcome to McNature. What can I provide for you today?
Leo: Can I have the triple oink deluxe, please?
Worker: Okay, and would you like a side of Meerkats with that?
Leo: No, hold the meerkats, just give me the triple oink deluxe.
Worker: Understood.
Where’s full video
Felt a little sad but then I remembered that I love bacon so I can hardly judge. 😂
Leopards are so fast. Goodness. 😂
You say "greedy", I say "getting in bulk".
Jimmy Dean sausage it ain't!
Other baby warthog is already dead but body still kicking motors high as it rolled down the slope
At least the Dad made it out. Can always set up another family!
Greedy he said. 😂
That was some Jurassic park action.
Please WHERE IS THE REST?
