God, that was a funny segment. They way he pokes at the stump with his pipe and Eric Idle just sits there, reading his book.
Poor little guy. Terribly sad story.

But leopards are great climbers.

Leopards are amazing animals and survivors that have thrived, kind of like coyotes here. They are nothing to fool with. Many of the professional hunters in Africa are scared to death of them, they come so fast, fortunately their attacks don’t result in death as often as lions and elephants. One of my PH’s was recovering from leopard bites when I hunted with him about 10 years ago.
Sad. RIP.
