From AfriCat Namibia:

Last week we were able to fit Pp 34 with a VHF collar. The leopard female, named Zani, was first recorded in 2016 during the course of the initial phase of the Okonjima/AfriCat leopard density study. Since then, she is regularly captured on remote camera traps which are monitoring the resident leopard population. Her home range is located in the northern part of the reserve, where she was caught with two cubs on camera in December 2017.

Zani, meaning “accident” in Swahili as we in fact intended to collar another leopard at that time, was in overall good condition and weighed in at 37.0 kilogram.

She will be an essential part of the leopard research project giving us conclusions about the leopards occurring in a less frequented area of the reserve.
