Luangwa Leopard Sees Prey K__37932

This female leopard gave birth to 2 cubs last year. From birth, one was always slightly larger than the other, as often happens. That day the mother had killed an Impala, which was hanging in a tree. Once she had gorged herself, she began calling her cubs. Eventually, after dark one cub appeared. There was no sighting of the other one. Our guide explained that it had not been seen for several weeks and they feared that it had been taken by a hyena, possibly a lion.
