A fascinating video of a leopard attacking baboons[1]. The big cat achieves a scratch on one baboon and then runs away from the troop. Enough to infect and then later pick off an errant victim? To my eye, the baboons are sad at the expectation that they will soon lose a friend.

It is most likely running away because it found itself completely overwhelmed by multiple attackers - it is not a hunting style big cats go for.
