Don't get on the wrong side of mum! Amazing pictures show mother warthog fighting off

The dramatic images show the leopard sink its teeth into the piglet (top left), before the baby warthog's mother begins to charge (top right). Running full throttle towards the leopard with her tusks bared (bottom left), the warthog forces the leopard to release the piglet, allowing it to escape (bottom right). The incredible photos were captured in Kruger National Park, South Africa, by photographer Koos Fourie while on holiday with his family.
