Bestelink: This is how desperate she's getting.

♪ Shes after monkyes, thats what shes after.

♪ [Beep] Narrator: Lediba has stashed her cub and is hunting again.

♪ [Elephant exhales] Bestelink: This elephant is browsing here, making a hell of a noise, and she's kind of using that.

Narrator: Leopards will use distractions from other animals to get closer to prey.

I don't know what she's seen, but there's something of interest.

The only thing I can see is elephants.

[Chittering] ♪ Oh, shes going into the elephants.

Shes running through the elephants.

Must be monkeys.

Shes after monkyes, thats what shes after.

After vervets.

Narrator: Having still not caught anything big enough to share with her cub.

Bestelink: This is how desperate she's getting.

Narrator: Lediba is going for something small again.

Bestelink: She has climbed into the tree with all these vervets, and she's jumping from branch to branch in the treetops trying to catch a vervet monkey out of the tree, showing her unbelievable agility and frustration, I guess.

♪ Just chaos, absolute chaos.

[Chittering] It's not typical prey for her, but, you know, she's-- she's really, really hungry.

♪ Incredible climbing ability.

You don't see it until these leopards are in full chase way up in the trees.

♪ Leopards often try and catch monkeys in trees, but if theres a single tree they stand a chance, this is a bit of a forest.

Theres a little bit of toying and freying between the different trees.

Its almost impossible for her to catch one.

I mean this must be 12, 15 meters up.

She's just really going to extremes to have a go at anything she can.

♪ [Birds insects chirping] Tristen, Brad.

Got a bit of a stalemate.

Narrator: Brad's camera is struggling in the fading light... Bestelink, on radio: She's on the ground.

OK, cool.

Copy that.

♪ [Chittering] ♪ Woodward: Oh, my God.

Lediba has just managed to kill a monkey.

It happened while we were rigging the thermal camera.

She's very, very impressive.

I've never actually seen a leopard catch one on the floor though, before, so this is quite new to me.

Bestelink: I think we're starting to really understand a lot more about this particular cat.
