shakari, I think the charge looks slow because the front leg was shot off, but mainly because the charge started way further than is normal on a leopard, giving one of the guys 2 shots, and adding to the illusion that it was slow.
I have always found that charges looks to be in slow motion when they happen to you, but are normally over so quick that it really should be an instictive reflex action how you deal with them- a fight or flight decision in less than 0.5 seconds.
