Leopards of Sabi Sands

[Ngala]

From Londolozi Game Reserve, The Week in Pictures #227 by James Tyrell:
"The Mashaba female heads down a game path through a Tamboti thicket while her cub sits behind her. Nyala alarm calls had alerted ranger Garrett Fitzpatrick and head tracker Richard Siwela to the presence of a predator in the area, and it wasn’t long before they had found the pair emerging from Winnis’ Donga."

"The cub spied some vervet monkeys up in a Schotia tree and rushed up to chase them. Unfortunately the thick foliage prevented any photos from being taken, but this is the Mashaba female watching her daughter’s antics high in the branches." Photograph by James Tyrrell

"The cub made four forays up the tree to try and catch the monkeys, who were alarming at the leopards the entire time. Between attempts she would return to her mother to be groomed, but would nevertheless keep her eyes fixedly on the monkeys." Photograph by James Tyrrell
