What happens when a lion stumbles across a sleeping leopard?

In what is probably one of the rarest sightings, a sleepy leopard was disturbed mid-nap by a male lion in Kruger National Park.

Thanks to the leopard’s feline reflexes, it was able to escape the intents of the lion, but it was a close call for the leopard. The video was taken by Matthew Poole, and the leopard was later seen in the safety of the tree, keeping its eyes on the lion. Watch the sighting below.
