Reading that they tell you exactly what happened.... or what someone has thought happened.
What I think is that the antelope was suffocated, passed out and regained consciousness and ran off. The timing was just pure luck.
I doubt very much it was down to the animal thinking about how to outwit a leopard and a hyena.
Very lucky animal.
But I don't try to sell newspapers, so what do I know eh?

Yup. Wasn't strangled enough so started breathing again when the cheater ran off. Being bitten on the knackers probably also woke it up. Simples.

Think about it. Something bites you on the crown jewels, you aint gonna hang around. Amazing what strength you could suddenly summon up!!!
