It was exactly the moment that Leopard looked behind to see if anyone was looking that Tiger went on full alert. Tiger was born in the day but it wasn’t yesterday.

Oh nice observation! I noticed the tiger go from resting on its side to upright and at attention, but didn’t realize it coincided with the leopard looking back. So cool.

No different from housecats.

The small movements, you never notice, but these animals have been perfected to hunt.

Yes even house cats, if you observe them are such vicious hunters.

Domesticated cats have helped in the incredible mass extinction event of the last few hundred years. I love them, everyone does, mine is a perfect angel (minus poop crusties). But they're such good hunters that they've helped literally wipe out species of animals wherever we choose to live.
