BOTSWANA: The leopard munches down on the impala's head. THIS UNLUCKY impala?s eyes POPPED out of the sockets after a leopard CRUSHED its skull. In one image, the 11-pound impala?s eyes protruded out of its skull as the 100-pound leopard bit down on its head causing an increase in pressure. In another, the impala?s brittle skull appeared to have been crushed completely as the leopardess fed on the impala?s internal organs. Photographer Shaun Malan (40) from Johannesburg, South Africa, captured the incredible images in Khwai ? a village along the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Shaun stood just 32-foot away as a female leopard fed on a young impala calf. Mediadrumimages/ Shaun Malan
