A photographer has captured a series of amazing close-up shots of a leopardís brutal two-second hunt on an unsuspecting gazelle. The images show the leopard leap towards its prey before sinking its claws in and dragging the helpless animal to the floor. The merciless hunt was captured by photographer Jeffrey Wu, 52, who claims the leopard took just two seconds to floor the gazelle before dragging the body up a tree to feed her cubs. The wildlife photographer, who was leading a photographic tour of the reserve, has followed the same leopard for four years at the Maasai Mara national park in Kenya. SEE MERCURY COPY.
