Stealthy stalkers
In a world where the prey has senses as good as the hunter, stealth and silence are the keys to a successful hunt. Hunting at night, the leopard crouches down and moves slowly forward by placing each paw with absolute, silent precision. When it's close enough to the prey, it darts over the remaining short distance and though the prey is now aware of its approach, it's too late for it to escape. No dog can equal the stealth with which the leopards stalks or the efficiency with which they dispatch their victim.
