There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Wow, yea its a year old map but much should'nt be different.
It would be cool to make a map with info and picture for each individual leopard, but with so many leopards around, that would be quite a challenge.
Who are the oldest males current in Sabi Sands? I know that Tingana, Nyeleti and Dewane are quite old.

Hmm not sure, Tingana Is thought to be dead now, and I think Dewane might have passed away too. He was last seen around Skukuza in January looking bad
I think Inyathini might be the oldest male in the SS, he's one year older than Nyeleti

My question is, is it possible to make entire map of leopards in Sabi Sabi??
I mean, some areas are quite well covered with reports such as northern Sabi Sands, western Sabi Sands, Londolozi and parts of MalaMala, but do we have enough info from southern parts (Kirkmans Camp, Lion Sands, Southern MalaMala) to do so??

That's quite an informative map. Thanks for sharing. I'm surprised there were much more sightings of leopards than of lions who are more numerous. I suppose the rumour of Sabi Sands leopards being less elusive is true after all.

I think for the lions, prides and coalitions are grouped together, so a sighting of a whole pride would still be 1 lion sighting maybe?

Shasha and Langa today. Littermates from the Sibuye female. Gives you a nice idea of the size difference of male and female leopards at the exact same age. (Two years 8 months old).
