Leopards of Sabi Sands

[Styx38]

There are so many pages on a population in a small part of Kruger National Park?

Anyway, these leopards are fine specimens, but they seem to be hiding a lot more potential due to the high density of competitors(lions and hyenas).

Here is a leopard losing his kudu cow to a sickly lion

As Rob mentioned, this is the "biggest" kill he has ever seen. There is obvious evidence they can take down far bigger.

Unfortunately, competitors will take from a leopard if he kills too big, so the diet is somewhat restrained, focusing on smaller antelope and juveniles.

Like this Hyena taking a Kudu Cow kill from another male.
