Brother and sister relaxing together!

On rountine camera check rounds we were lucky enough to come across the two sub adult leopards who we had the pleasure of spending 4hours with. We firstly came across the young male sitting in the centre of the road in front of us. Switching of the engine he casually strolled towards us and by the side of the car to take a drink at the water hole we had happened to park beside. He then picked up an old bone and began playing and rolling with it. Meanwhile his sister also casually walked towards us and drank as well. The curious two the began playing with one another playfully pouncing on one another and sniffing and investigating the landrover (see below). The two then lay together and grooming and relaxing and allowing us to share their space completely relaxed with the vehicle before eventually moving off up the cliff over and hour later. We then carried on servicing the camera traps but this was not the last of the leopards that day, the best is still to come keep posted for more of the sighting in the next blog .......
