This is the incredible moment a newborn impala licks and nuzzles a leopard, perhaps confusing it for its mother while unaware that the big cat had frightened her off just moments earlier.
The baby antelope was still wet from the birth and amazingly, the male leopard appears to be so shocked by the calf's behaviour that he licks it back.
Video footage shows the two getting acquainted for a moment or two, before the calf realises the danger and starts to run away - sealing its own fate.
