Video: Mongoose Plays Hide and Seek With Leopard
Safari guide Kevin Van Der Linde and his coworkers were enjoying a drive through South Africa's Balule Game Reserve recently when they spotted a leopard rummaging in a nearby bush – a meal clearly on its mind. "We tried to identify what it was chasing," he told Latest Sightings.

​The team initially thought the big cat's target was a dassie (or rock hyrax), but when the small animal eventually poked its head out, it turned out 
to be a slender mongoose (Galerella sanguinea).

"[The chase] was a very rare sighting for all of us (as you might have heard in the video)," says Van Der Linde. "It was an ongoing game raising our excitement levels and curiosity to see how it would play out, but after about ten minutes of the leopard aimlessly circling the bush, it finally lost interest and gave up."
