I know why a Leopard can't change his spots - if I had a comfy branch like that one, I wouldn't want to change my spot either ;)
Great views, nice neighbourhood, lots of takeaway ...
Anyway ... another of the awesome cubs in Sabi Sands Reserve, South Africa.

... ein wunderschönes Seengebiet im Nordosten Islands. Der Blick wird etwas getrübt, da sich soviele Mücken in diesem Gebiet aufhalten, so dass der See nicht zu unrecht Mückensee genannt wird. Ein Netz, welches man zum Schutz über den Kopf stülpen kann, nimmt einem leider die klare Sicht auf diese schöne Landschaft.

Lucky enough, we found two female Leopards in Chikwenya, Mana Pools, on one spot.
Most likely they were both on the borders of each others territory.
They were lying peaceful together, but as we appeared, they went in seperate directions.

Lions are extremely water shy.
But sometimes it just does not work and they have to go through it.
These young lions here had no other chance. Their mothers had been waiting for them on the other side of the Khwai since morning. It took hours for one of the youngsters to take heart and speed through the water. The rest of his kinsfolk followed immediately. In 40 seconds, the spectacle was over and the lions were unmolested by crocodiles and frogs on the saving shore.
