Some leopard pix from two days ago:

On our last morning at Mala Mala our ranger located a leopard deep in the bush after hearing monkey chatter and spotting the direction the monkeys were looking in. We came across a male leopard lounging around in the grass after enjoying part of an impala which he had dragged up into a tree.





After observing him for awhile he suddenly became alert. Sure enough another leopard arrived on the scene. This turned out to be his father. The younger leopard had been injured in a flight, probably with his father, and had a big gash on his side. The dad was frothing at the mouth as he approached, evidently expecting a fight, but the younger one just watched as he jumped up in the tree and proceeded to enjoy the impala.

The son is up:





The dad moves in:







The son gives up and lies down
