None of these dogs are wearing face masks so they are not allowed to enter the gate

Incredible sighting by my friend Susan Harwood at a private reserve near the Kruger Park last night .

Not the type of “Leopard in a tree” pic you’d want to frame - but a fascinating example of rare leopard cannibalism. The massive male is known but the victim is yet unidentified, so it may well have been an unfortunate case of a stranger involved in a territorial dispute. We can only speculate!
Ananzi (as he is known) only jumped back up in the evening, took a couple more bites then took the carcass down the tree.
You are not likely to see this behavior again! If you share my photos please credit me in your post. Many thanks!

They kill young males who invade their territory and don't "listen", I think?

Not for food...

Probably chewing a bone.
