The cleverest predators can sometimes become victims of their own greed. In a viral video shared on social media, a leopard blinded by hunger ignored a valuable lesson - a bird in hand is better than two in the bush.
In a video, the leopard pounces on a small animal which looks like a piglet. But just as the leopard was about to devour the prey, it noticed a strong and healthy pig just a few metres away. Greed took hold, and the leopard abandoned its current catch in pursuit of the bigger prize.
With a burst of speed, the leopard chased after the second pig. But the pig vanished, leaving the leopard exhausted and empty-handed. When the leopard turned back to retrieve the smaller pig, it was nowhere to be seen.
This comical yet cautionary tale serves as a reminder that being greedy doesn't guarantee satisfaction. Sometimes, it's better to appreciate what we have rather than chase elusive desires.
This leopard forgot the golden principle-a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush😊😊 pic.twitter.com/KwQUKlRzia
