"Ntsumi on the side of the road. We followed her as she led us to the remains of her kill. With only a few bones left, we watched her finish them off before quenching her thirst at a nearby waterhole. It was great to see her feed as she needs regular meals so that she can produce enough milk for her tiny cubs."

A strange sighting. Maribye and Thandi hanging around with the Langa female




RE: Leopards of Sabi Sands - Tonpa - 04-04-2022

A sad day, the Thandi Female was found dead.


RE: Leopards of Sabi Sands - Duco Ndona - 04-04-2022

Sad to hear that. I hope she went peacefull and Maribye is atleast ok.


RE: Leopards of Sabi Sands - Tonpa - 04-04-2022

No solid details but it seems she was possibly killed by a Male Leopard


RE: Leopards of Sabi Sands - Luipaard - 04-04-2022

@Duco Ndona 

She was found lifeless with serious wounds to the thoracic region. I'm afraid it wasn't that peaceful... I hoped it was due to old age when I first heard about her death. After all 16 years is old for a leopard.

@Tonpa 

I too heard reports of a male leopard in the area. Probably ambushed.

Why would male leopard attack her in that way? I mean she doesnt have cubs currently to defend. 

Isnt a lion attack more likely?

Last sighting of Thandi before incident :
