Excellent news everybody!!! Over the last three days we have had excellent sightings of leopard. On Wednesday night we got a call informing us that there was a leopard feeding on a wildebeest carcass and it may be the young female we believe was shot the other week. However when arriving on the scene we discovered it in fact her brother. A beautiful sighting, but still left us worried of his sister fate whom no one had sighted since the shooting. Then the next evening however we went to check out the carcass again and to our relief there sat one very full and healthy little female. After sitting with her while we left to return the following day. Still content with the wildebeest she had remained there overnight and the full day giving us beautiful sightings of her scanning the area from a vantage point in a nearby tree, rolling and laying in the grass and even stalking wildebeest that were happening to walk close by despite already having a very round full stomach. This really shows what opportunistic predators they are. Fantastic news that this little female is safe and well. A huge relief to us all.
