The Torchwood Male is a young nomadic male that has drifted in from the north of the Sabi Sands in 2013.

Born in November or December 2010 on the Torchwood property, he is now at an age at which his father would most likely have put pressure on him to move out of his territory. His father is the Mvula male (aka Leadwood Male) who is territorial to the north of us, and who we don’t see on Londolozi.

Male leopards typically disperse at around two-and-a-half years, and this is mirrored exactly in the Torchwood male, as the last photo taken of him in the North was round about June 2013. Since then he has moved around the Sabi Sand extensively, being seen in the southern, western, and now central sectors.  Currently the Torchwood male holds territory falling mostly to the west of Londolozi and is infrequently seen.
