Lubyelubye Leopard

Post by Flutterby »

The famous Lubyelubye leopard has apparently broken his back and the Lower Sabie rangers will put him down tonight! :-(

Good night Sweet Prince! O0

Confirmation received that the rangers have put him down. He had massive bite wounds on the back of his neck.

At least he is now out of his pain.

R.I.P. majestic leopard. We only saw you once but MAN did you pose for us.

Thank you for one of the most amazing hours we have spent in Kruger.

If there are any mites who may have some influence on SANParks please put in a request that he be buried near his favourite spot where he gave thousands of visitors so much joy.

From FB:
UPDATE FROM THE LOWER SABIE RANGERS: The leopard has been put down, finally been put out of his misery. He had massive bite wounds to the back of his neck so was definitely killed by either another leopard or by the lions he has had so many encounters with, not run over by a car.
