In the wild, a mother leopard risking her life to confront a spotted hyena so her cub can escape, also Leopard cubs are naturally programmed with a deep survival instinct when the mother gives a specific alarm call or engages a predator, the cub’s job is to freeze, climb a high tree, or squeeze into a dense thicket and stay completely silent.
Therefore by drawing the hyena’s attention away from the hiding spot and toward herself, she acts as a decoy. Once she draws the hyena far enough away or forces it to defend itself, she can often use her superior tree climbing agility to escape later.
