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.

Makhotini 3:3 Male (Maxabene Male)

The brother of the Tu-Tones male from the same litter, the Makhotini male has had a far more successful life.  Dispersing at around three years of age, as is normal for young male leopards, he moved into the south western grasslands of Londolozi, an area not renowned for its leopard population, but by virtue of that fact, not hotly competed for.

Slowly this leopard expanded his territory further to the south and west, eventually venturing far beyond Londolozi’s borders to control a substantial portion of Sabi Sabi, as well as the far south-eastern corner of Singita. He has mated with a number of females in the area and sired cubs with the Little Bush female. It is likely that he fathered the Tatowa female’s first litter as well.

General game numbers differ in much of his territory, and the Makhotini male has adapted by hunting a larger variety of prey than other leopards. He has been seen hunting buffalo calves out of large herds on a number of occasions, and reedbuck and aardvark are some of the more unusual prey species that he has been recorded catching.

Territory
This leopard has established a large territory which extends from south west Dudley over much of Sabi Sabi. One of the reasons his territory is so large is that the open grasslands which dominate the area are not as flush with general game, and therefore not as desirable as hunting habitat. Fewer females inhabit the area and so the Makhotini male is forced to roam far to access mating opportunities.
