A leopard is chased by a lioness at Urikaruus waterhole in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Kgalagadi, South Africa. The leopard narrowly escaped a swipe before leaping into the branches of the area's only tree. Amateur photographer Callie de Wet from Johannesburg captured the chase on camera. He said: "Lions can't climb so [the tree] was the only option for the leopard."
