The Leopard and the Squirrel

This time we picked up a leopard walking along the road for about 5 minutes before moving into a tree to chase a tree squirrel. The squirrel went into the tree bark to hide, and the leopard spent a few minutes chasing it before it took a break to rest. Then the leopard started peeling the bark away and exposed the squirrel, so the squirrel quickly ran down the tree, with the leopard close behind it. The squirrel ran up the tree again and hid in a hole, at which point the leopard gave up and went away.
