There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Good looking boy. He looks huge, about the size and weight of an adult lioness.

Leopard killed by locals in South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal province) because he was a "nuisance" to the community and was killing livestock. They suspect he originated from Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park. Some local hunters were searching for bushbuck when they encountered the leopard. They surrounded him with multiple men and dogs until one of them could stab him with a spear. Some dogs were injured in the process. (Link to article)

Erythristic or strawberry leopards have so far only been recorded in South Africa, and that too only in a few provinces.

Since there were 2 leopards from near the botswanan-south african border its possible there are some of these leopards in botswana as well though ofc.
