My grandpa used to cut the tip of his finger with a knife and stick it in the river where the catfish were basking. The catfish would be attracted to the smell so they’d come up and bite my grandpas finger, and then he’d use his bare hands to grab the catfish and carry it away. It was so badass!
This shows just how strong Leopards are. Those catfish are aprox 3ft long and thick. If you tried holding a catfish that big you would know how powerful they can shake. The leopards are totally unfazed by this! You can see that their head and neck don't even move as the leopard casually walks away while the giant catfish shakes in an effort to get away. I guess watching them carry a full grown Antelope up a tree (different video) is a bit more impressive though . I can barely get myself up a tree!! LOL.. Thanks.. :)
I was amazed at how big the catfish actually are! Quite a feat to catch something that size. Incredible! I've never seen wild cats pursue fish like this.
I am a big fan of sir David Attenborough's documentaries. Cubs are learning by watching her catching them. They will improvise on their own and will pass on to their cubs. They will add their own variations and this type of knowledge will pass through generations.
Well my friends, Evolution is a continuous & slow process (some scientists say it is saltatory also). We can't see it within few days. Evolution means the act of unfolding or unrolling. Simply, it is an orderly 'Change'. Leopards generally don't hunt in water but in this case they are doing. They are adapting & if this adaptation (either be in body structure or in the behaviour) is restored and passes to their offsprings through gametes, there could be a new species or subspecies which will share similarities with other cats to varying degrees ( As we see in Darwin's finches, Australian marsupials etc. i.e. Adaptive radiation - a process of evolution)
No its not. The leopard could only have been created by God. Stop shoving your evolution beliefs down everyone's throat in every video, typical obsessed atheist missionary fanatic.
Adaption is a mechanism of evolution. İf this skill repressed by environmental factors, it'll be adaptation. And, maybe there is a God, maybe there are gods or there is no god; it doesn't matter for evolution. Evolution is exist.
It’s a game of survival... you have to adapt to your environment... this cat surely has bright future because of their diversity in their hunting techniques... all cat big and small are the greatest predators...
Zan yes ...their future and it will pass on to the next generations... they have prey that other big predator didn’t care about... therefore no competition...maybe in the future the group of leopard in area becomes a fishing leopard that only hunting fish...
Like seriously, why stick your head out the water to look. Get your ass to somewhere else far down river unless you want to get ate. I guess that is why they are called "cat"fish, because they are curious also.
Sarban Can’t you understand the joke? What he meant that Jaguars are masters at hunting in the water, and if a jaguar saw this, it’ll get defensive and shit like that, and would want someone to hold their “beer.” If anyone would be retarded... I think you already know who i am referring to.
The river is drying out and that's why the fish are in shallow water. They're trapped. Also, see how they come to the surface with an open mouth? The water is poor in oxygen and they are trying to breathe
These are sharp tooth catfish, a member of the walking catfish family. They're obligated air breathers and shallow water specialists - very different from the bottom dwelling ambush predators from other lineages
This is evolution in action. A new survival behavior is invented/discovered and then passed on through the generations and very slowly over time that group begins to develop physical characteristics to better employ that behavior. Who knows, in thousands of years leopards could be.... probably extinct.
crippledphoenix I think this is considered adaptation rather than evolution. If they were to genetically develop physiological features to make them better at catching cat fish I think that would be considered evolution.
crippledphoenix if the fairytale called evilution was real then the leopard wouldn’t go extinct, it would get better. But unfortunately there are actual scientific laws that refute evilution and point to the Bible. Second law of thermodynamics. Goodnight.
but a leopard is the better version of a past feline that lived thousands(or maybe millions of years ago) our leopard today if, it survived the human race and flourish they will evolved couple of millions of years to the future to be better,larger,or even smarter.
true just like the bear family the black bear may lack in size compare to the kodiak,grizzly, and polar bear.But it is the smartest and the most successful bear(American black bear to be exact)
So the legendary leopard that was taught by elephant has passed down its skill to its family... 1 in 10 000 years event was caught in camera... Magnificent!
0:120:321:001:101:272:48 Wow so many catfish surfacing on the water. These fish are calling for it, and these leopards will be well fed for the rest of their lives.
Yes you catch dem big ole Cat fish down in dey Bayou and deep fish fry them in a spicy Louisiana Cajun seasoning. Ooh dat good! Make sure you catch some crawfish too. Steam dem in a big old pot and wash it all down with cold beer. Ohh dat good! I got to go hunt me some Gator now for dinner. Bye.
Leopards come in the night in our cities and towns and hunt pigs and dogs and we don't even know , we will never know because of the elusive behaviour of leopards
Their innovative this leopard family. It's not easy to get prey anymore so they do what they need to feed their bellies. WOW I was blown away when they leaped into the water. That's being cold resourceful!
I’m literally jealous!! At 40, I still can’t even even hold a fishing 🎣 rod, which they don’t even need. I love catfish. This ought to be me catching and eating these huge catfish. 😢 😭
The most beautiful of all the big cats imo. One of God's most aesthetically pleasing creations. Also a marvelous hunter, as showcased in this video. Everybody is welcome to their own opinion but I think it's fairly obvious something of such beauty and such an expert hunter was created by design. Thank you to BBC for documenting all these wonderful specimens for us to enjoy. God bless.
those leopards are having that hunting behaviour be reinforced as heck. Think about it from the leopard's POV. Relatively little effort. All that protein. Yum
I wish I could get David to narate my life. I can picture it now. 🤔 " And now we can see Mr. Castro fill his belly with pizza. But as he gets full, he'll save some for tomorrow so can have leftovers"

First, they aren’t all that bright. Second, these catfish are feeding on insects and other bugs in the grass and near the shore, which keeps them distracted. Last of all, the catfish are in a big school, which means that an individual fish’s odds of being caught by the leopards are actually rather small-and they instinctively know it.
These 3 leopards probably sleep in trees all day long with full bellies, and look at all the other predators throughout the day and think, "You dummies! Fishing is so much easier and rewarding!"
Hunting videos: hares killed, 15% dislike ratio. Fish killed: 4% dislike ratio. Fish not cute enough to bring out vegans in droves? People are so stupid, I swear to the spaghetti monster.
in animal kingdom the herbivore eats grass, carnivores eat herbivore which is made of meat, and omnivore eats both. correct me if I'm wrong. I think we, human carnivores should eat vegans.

Hi hungry
"take three and she's got it"
Love how they hold their tails up in pride after the catch.
I've seen leopards stash their kills in trees before, but never a huge catfish. What a clever kitty!
toxigenic it ain’t no kitty it’s a beast that is a apex predator that will rip apart anything that gets in its way
Samuel Phan would you think that if you were face to face with a WILD one?
Speed kills to fast
@Luan Phan go up and pet it
@@cheezeempire3157 animals are not monsters. a leopard would only attack a human when threatened or hungry. they kill to survive.

So he was a live bait himself.
Wow

In their mouths up a tree , that's power
They are leopards, they can bring down horses and zebras. Catfishes are nothing for them.
Some were almost 5ft long
Well they are one of the Great Cats
African catfish can get really big. Like 5 feet or so. We have some in our pond but the government banned them.

Teach a leopard to fish and he will never be hungry...
Impala & warthog: lol
@@jamesband3978 This is a Taoist phrase.
I think surviving in water is more important
the problem is fish is difficult to keep in the tree, very slippery
Teach him to grow his own then he can make his living too.
This is so satisfying, how the leopard concentrates on the fish
Kitty and puppy Lover yes. he's so quick and his agility is amazing just wow
Leopard: "don't give me fish, just teach me to fish"
Holy crap, the size of these catfish @ 3:12!!
I know some fishermen are probably foaming at the mouth

yeah im just pointing out that jaguars are more capable of hunting in the water, i love both animals specially the leopard.
It’s not a Jaguar
duh i know, oh you innocent mind that is a joke
He knows that. Jaguars have been filmed hunting large caiman in water. So the joke is that while lepoards hunt fish, jaguars hunt reptiles.
Sarban Can’t you understand the joke? What he meant that Jaguars are masters at hunting in the water, and if a jaguar saw this, it’ll get defensive and shit like that, and would want someone to hold their “beer.”

Probably my favorite cat. Always seems to be the most focused and more apt at adopting to new situations.
The leopards caught some of the biggest fish that I could ever possibly catch.
Love David Attenborough. Also, very interesting that both sibling and mother, learned from the daughter.
Felines are so determined & savvy. Love em ♥️
Nobody narrates it better than Sir David Attenborough
Those are huge catfish, and they're on shallow waters?
something doesn't sound right

A cat-mammal, hunting a catfish.
What a sight and an experience to behold.
I also watched video where leopard learned from elephants how to catch catfish
That catfish looks delicious

This is incredible! It doesn't demand even a fraction of effort to chase down and wrestle a large mammal!
and it was that moment when fish realised aliens do exist😂😂😂

🐈🏄
3:18 look at the size of that thing, that could feed the whole family
I hate catfish and love cats, this makes me happy seeing them grow and adapt. That first leopard was so cute too.
Looks like easy fishing. They're basically jumping on land wanting to be caught.
I was thinking the same thing. I dont understand what the fish were doing though. Like why were the going to the bank like that
when he says “mandadamaa warooooeee” I felt that.
Sweet and beautiful voice.

Why the catfish still staying near the shore even there's danger lurking already?
JRfoodie lovefun bcoz they are stupids..
Looks like the water is receding and they're stuck in the shallows. Probably not enough oxygen in the water so they're trying to get more
Evil emperor haha
