The BBC's Natural History Unit got a rare glimpse of the behaviour as climate change forces animals to adapt.
African leopards have been filmed hunting at night for the first time as part of Sir David Attenborough's latest series - Mammals.
It focuses on how these animals are adapting to a world rapidly changed by the most dominant mammal - us. The opening episode has been shot completely in the dark revealing, among other things, the African leopard's specially adapted eyesight. The changes in behaviour were reported by naturalists who spent five years watching how mammals were coping with rapidly changing habitats.Satellite view of Earth: Namibian desertWatch: Seedlings from Sycamore Gap tree sprout upMoment astronauts hug as they arrive at space stationThe three men and one woman crew will stay on the International Space Station for a six month mission.
