Gorgeous Rare "Strawberry" Leopard

Tourists to South Africa's Madikwe Game Reserve have been saying there was a red leopard on the property but until photographer Deon De Villiers snapped this photo there was no proof. Experts believe the male leopard's unusual hue is due to a genetic condition known as Erythrism that can cause an over-production of red skin pigment though it's not been documented before in leopards.

Two Cheetah Hunt at Nkorho - Feb 14, 2011

"QUOTE" 7am CAT - You may want to go full screen. Cheetah split up, flush out Impala, Wilebeest and Zebra. Most of the action is hard to see back at the treeline. At the end, the one Landie stays in one spot for quite a while but we couldn't see what they were looking at. At least, I couldn't. :) www.africam.com - Nkorho Bush Lodge, Sabi Sand, South Africa.

The Pilanesberg National Park is located in North West Province in South Africa, west of Pretoria. The park borders with the entertainment complex Sun City. The park was originally owned by three local tribes, and now by the north west parks board.

First Time In World History, Killer Whales Filmed Hunting Dolphins

A tour operator in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, along with four lucky tourists, have made the first recording of a a group of Orca whales hunting a dolphin.

Ranier Schimpf was leading a group of divers when they noticed that one dolphin had been separated from a pod by five of the killer whales then repeatedly rammed. The dolphin was sent flying through the air by the force of impact from whales that were several times its size. With the smaller creature finally left laying unconscious on the surface, the whales pulled it below.

The two 7m male, two 5m female, and a 3m calf whales were clearly working as a team against the dolphin, and it appeared it was also a hunting lesson for the calf.
