This is one of several raptor companions introduced in patch 3.2. Upon its initial release, this pet dropped from Takk the Leaper, a rare spawn found in the northeastern Barrens roughly every 4-6 hours.
As of patch 3.3, the Leaping Hatchling became a lootable item from Takk's Nest.
This pet will occasionally leap to its owner's feet.
This offspring of Takk the Leaper is incredibly agile and can maneuver through difficult environments with ease.
I suppose the heart attack you just got from seeing your little baby dive off a ledge is what you get for being a bad example and showing him that it's okay to cut corners by jumping off of high objects, you bad parent you.
Hatchlings: Leaping, Darting, Razormaw, and Ravasaur Hatchlings no longer drop from their associated rare creatures. Instead, there are now rare nests that spawn which contain these hatchlings. For example, the Leaping Hatchling can now be found in Takk’s Nest rather than as a drop from Takk the Leaper.

58.5, 8.3
59.5, 8.5 (<- I found it on this one)
60.3, 10.1
60.7, 13.3
The spawn times is not related to Takk nor Takk's death and it must take more than 2 hours to spawn (I tried timing it, but rl didn't allow me to be consistent).
I tried camping 60.3, 10.1 because most people report having found it there, just take a stroll around the area every now and then to make sure you're not camping the wrong tree.
best of luck!
By far the easiest of the Raptors to get.
I found mine like this: Start from Nozzlepot's Outpost, then go East slightly (not down the hill). There is a wide grassy path that goes Southeast and skirts the eastern side of the mountain. I found the nest behind the first large tree on my right. I went back a few minutes later, and the nest is gone. I don't think the nest is always there, and I get the idea that it spawns in different locations around the area. Tak was further south along the same path.
I just found this one today. I installed TomTom and found out i had been looking at the wrong trees! I did a couple rounds and did some mining... all of a sudden there was the nest! 62.8, 20.2 - Good luck to all... it was fun looking for this one!
I searched the following trees that are mentioned in previous comments:
58.2, 22
61, 19.8
62.8, 20.2
64.2, 23
65, 28
Today at 60.9, 19.8. Woot!
Nest was on the back side of the big tree at 62.7, 20.2 in NorthEastern part of Northern Barrens
The nest has several spawn places listed below. The nest is not hidden and easily looted if its there.
found it 64.8 Â 28.3
Everytime I got near the Nothern Barrens, I made sure to visit the nests. Today, I finally got my reward! :D
justfound mine at 10:09 relm time(trollbane). IÂ have pet tracker addon, and the nest was exactly where the icon said it was. Maybe I was lucky.
Found the nest at the NW spawn point literally seconds before another player showed up from the opposite direction! I checked all the other spawns just in case, and ran into Takk the Leaper (named rare raptor.) I wonder if the nest respawn time is tied to the rare spawn being up?
Dropped down to pick an Herb and literally landed in the nest! 64 - 23 under the tree!
First time looking for it, found under a tree at 64.9, 28.7 9.30am EST/ 6.30am server
I searched and searched but to no avail...downloaded the TomTom addon and used this macro and BAM!!! Found the nest twice in 3 hours
