When safari travelers saw two female leopards fighting, they probably thought they’d hit the jackpot in terms of cool things to see in the wild. Then, a third leopard jumped in, making it leopard vs. leopard vs. leopard. The story behind the tri-leopard squirmish in Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, South Africa is just as interesting as you’d think it would be.

“In short, here’s what happened,” writes safari.travel.ideas, the account that shared the video on Instagram. “These females are a mother and her grown up daughter (who now has her own territory). The mother entered the daughter’s territory in pursuit of the area’s dominant male, who at the time was with the daughter. Daughter was not happy about that as you can see. The male intervened before the fight got serious.”
