Leopard

Quite a jump!

Impalas are not exactly known for their intelligence

An interesting call made by this leopard:

Calling for cubs maybe?

A Pafuri leopard by Pumbaa in 2014!

When we reached the tar road we nearly had been knocked over by a police car which dashed into the direction of the border post with blue light and so we were extreme delighted and surprised when we suddenly saw this spotted beauty on the road side



who obviously wanted to cross the street but gladly did not dare so we could admire her at least for a couple of minutes.



This was in fact the most Northern leopard we ever saw and probably will ever see in the park but at least it was something that attracted us to drive this relatively long detour but it was more than worth



that we were paid off by our third surprise of that day and what a farewell gift on top.



and also a prove that the mammal sightings in the far North might be a bit sparse and hard to find but they are there with a bit of time, patience and luck.



This in fact is of course one sighting we will never forget and far too soon our still younger looking spotted beauty decided to turn around and ran back into the dense mopane bushes on the road side where she came from. Although I was feeling a bit sorry for her as in fact I only could see mopane bushes and no comfortable tree which she could climb and rest on but I guess she found one.....

Calling for cubs maybe?

Correct Flutts ..she obviously came back to the spot she left them in and they had left that position for whatever reason and she called them ..same with Kudu cows etc etc especially in E Cape in Hunting season ..The mother Kudu can clear the fence but baby cant and they hide away and mother comes back hours later when danger has passed and calls the baby...leopard females also use that call when they want a boyfriend
