In all the commotion,
a mother and baby take a wrong turn.
And now they are trapped at the end of a branch.
A female leopard is starting to think about hunting.
Her remarkable night vision
will give her a crucial advantage.
That now becomes very valuable because tonight
it is particularly dark.
Impala have learnt to be wary.
But there are other opportunities nearby.
Twenty metres above the forest floor,
a troop of yellow baboons
are settling down for the night.
Baboons have poor night vision.
Their hearing, though, is excellent.
The closer she gets,
the greater the risk of waking them.
The troop is now fully alarmed.
So she becomes bolder.
In all the commotion, a mother and baby take a wrong turn.
And now they are trapped at the end of a branch.
The thinnest of branches offers
the mother and baby a lifeline.
With the baboons so alarmed,
she will need all her power and agility now.
The troop scatters again
and one makes a fatal mistake.
