Leopards of Sabi Sands

[Ngala]

From Umkumbe Safari Lodge: 
"NEW male leopard ! We'd like to formally introduce you to the Inyathini male. Mauritz Senekal took these remarkable images of this short-tailed newcomer to the Umkumbe traverse. We speculate he wandered over from the Kruger in early to mid 2014"

"Newcomer Inyathini has certainly wowed us with his presence. He has a short tail and little is known about him. This was the day he stole a kill. Seems to have little to no fear when it comes to strutting his stuff on new ground."

"Inyathini male watches out over the landscape from the safety of a tree. We don't know much about this male, but we do know that he smacked a leopardess of the tree in order to steal her kill!"

"An exceptional image of newcomer Inyathini male - the male with the short tail. Mauritz Senekal has outdone himself with this image!"

"The Inyathini male makes sure thieving scavengers have no access to his stolen kill. The Inyathini male stole the kill from another newcomer, the Hlarulini female."

"Inyathini, the new male on our turf, very cheekily stole an impala kill from the Hlarulini leopardess. This wasn't his own kill! Leopards are opportunistic hunters and will think nothing of taking a fresh kill."
