The leopard had his back broken and was seen 3 days ago with broken back the first time, dragging itself over the road. Yesterday morning the lion pride did attack the injured leopard whilst injured and he faught back, and the lions left him alone and made a kill about 800meters from the Spruit.
I have photos of him injured that I would not post, but I am glad the animal got put down. He was a great specimen and to see him suffer was not a nice sight.

We were lucky enough to see him once but unlike STF's stunning sighting, he was feeling antisocial that day!
Hunting cannot be considered a sport as all contestants in a sport should know they are playing the game!

Lubyelubye Tribute
...a tribute from all those whose lives he touched with his grace, charm and beauty. This guy shared a little of his world, however inadvertently, with many of us, allowing us a glimpse into a place wild and free.
Sleep easy beautiful boy, you will be missed by so many... But, such is the way of the warrior, and for us mere humans, you will always be a legend.
Now, on to happier hunting grounds!
Rest in Peace.

The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future.

Re: Lubyelubye Tribute
Just wanted to say - I saw your post on the Sanparks forum STF...I too hope they do right by him and bury him where he lived, it was nice of you to mention itsteamtrainfan wrote:
