Leopard VS Lizard
Video/Kruger Sightings

A leopard cub got slapped around by a lizard before eating it for lunch. This incident sort of reminds us of that Tums television advert that showed food fighting back. 

The leopard cub was filmed attempting to hunt a lizard in the Kruger. The adorable cub got slapped a number of times before picking the lizard up. 

Monitor lizards are known for their strong limbs, but their power lies in their tails. When threatened, they sway their tails from side to side. They can also stand upright on all legs and make hissing sounds. According to Kruger Sightings, they can also open their mouths very wide and if approached, the monitor may lunge and attack.
