A PANICKED warthog’s desperate struggle to escape from the clutches of a hungry pregnant leopard has been captured in a series of stunning action shots. Incredible images show the 130-pound leopard stalking its prey in a thicket of bushes before the warthog becomes aware it is about to become dinner and makes a run for it. Unfortunately for the warthog his speed is no match for that of the predator who quickly catches up and pounces before enjoying a well-earned meal. The striking encounter was captured at Maasai Mara, Kenya, by camp manager Peter Thompson (29) from Townsville, Australia. Pete
