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.

Just got mine today at 64.1 / 23.1!  I figured out where all of the coordinates were that everyone posted and circled the trees looking for it.  I found it in 5 minutes thanks to everyone's help.

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

After deciding to seriously look for these raptor pets, I installed the TomTom add on via Curse and it has made all the difference as I'm really bad with directions. Used this TomTom macro based on the comments here and searched under the trees:

 

/way 58 22

/way 60.92 19.86

/way 62.52 20.22

 

Found Takk's nest after my fourth look (my mage camped this area for a day). 

 

Just got another hatchling for hubby so two today! Found this one at: 64.09 23.01

Found at 58, 22 at the base of a big tree, just south of that dark pool on the map (The Sludge Fen). Was flying around the area for a half hour or so in queue for a random when I found it ... had killed Takk about 15 minutes earlier, but in a totally different spot. My queue popped a couple minutes later too, so lucked out on timing!

This is my absolute favorite pet, and I'm glad to say that I own him. My boyfriend actually ended up finding the nest and getting the pet for me because we were looking for it. The tree was a little bit hard to find, but once you're in the area, it's sort of on top of a climbable mountain, if that helps anyone. That's what was stopping me from actually finding him until I was told that I had to climb a bit to find the nest beside the tree.

Best way to farm this guy (as Horde) is to link your hearthstone to the little area to the north (Nozzlepot's Outpost), then skim down the tree spawns whenever you go to visit Orgammir. 50% of the time I check I come across the nest, so it makes trying for him much easier.

This hatchling was -- and still is -- the easiest for me to get. I go there at random times (usually 2AM on Gorgannash!). Four out of five times I have gotten it.

For those searching for this pet, I've read, and have now experienced, that the nests spawn independently of the named mobs. They're on different timers, and the named do not trigger the nests, nor vice-versa. Don't bother searching for the named, just look at the locations shown on wowhead for the nests, and check back periodically.

Good hunting!

The first week cata was launched I found this pet up to 3 times a day. I had sooo many of them I was just giving them to my friends and selling a few on the AH. I figured I would find more so I didn't even use one because at the time I wasn't sure what character was going to collect pets. Its now been a month since I have seen the nest :(

This little guy has startled me on more than one occasion when something just suddenly whizzes by my head. I always forget I have him out when I do bring him out! lol

So I have been wondering, Will this pet disappear along with the Razzashi hatchling when Cata comes out? I can't imagine Takk the leaper frolicking happily around anymore when the barrens is ripped in two. Perhaps the majority of the raptor pets will be replaced with the new skeletal model?

This was my last of the 4 hatchling (that come from nests) to get. I was starting to get my hopes up after checking several times considering I have found many of the other dinos more than once. I was checking again when I found Takk and killed him just for fun I took a look around knowing that they have around the same respawn time but not luck :[ i went AFK for a lil while and came back to check and BAM there was da lil nest :D I guess its common for horde to snatch the lil fella first though

Hunting Log, Day 37: My Raptor Hatchling Expedition in The Barrens has ended! I just managed to get my Leaping Hatchling! Boy, this little fella can jump! He's always leaping— *ducks to avoid flying hatchling* Whoa... That was close! Surprisingly, I didn't even have to kill Takk. He just sorta turned his back on the little guy and ran off... it was almost intention— *dodges to avoid flying hatchling* Dang it! This fella never stops! He's too much of a burden for me... Takk! Come back!!! You forgot Takk Jr!
