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.

Kabaso (Male) Leopard...... Masai Mara, Africa.

It was a beautiful morning on the plains of Masai Mara, Africa. We spotted a duo of mother Cheetah and her cub on the plains. On close observation we figured they were keenly scrutinizing a large heard of Thomson Gazelles obviously with the intention to hunt one of them. After a while the mother took her stalking posture and started advancing towards the heard slowly but decisively with the cub in tow. But alas a Hyena appeared on the scene and obviously keeping the security of the cub in her mind the mother gave up on hunting……

Suddenly the radio in our vehicle crackled and somebody spoke in the local language. The excitement in the voice of the person speaking through the radio was unmistakable though we did not understand what he was saying. The person on the radio had barely stopped talking and our driver cum guide just turned the ignition of the vehicle. Vehicle roared to life and our driver steered it towards nearby bushes while shouting Kabaso Male Leopard, Kabaso, Kabaso….

I really did not understand his excitement and sense of urgency. I had seen leopards in forests in India. It did not make sense to me to leave a stalking Cheetah to go after a leopard. 

Our vehicle entered the bushes and suddenly this huge male leopard appeared from behind a bush, its mean eyes fixated on us….. Kabaso male lepoard….. It was huge…… I had never seen such a huge leopard before. Our guide shouted, take pictures quickly, this fellow is too shy and elusive…… Sure enough, like a steak of lightening it disappeared, behind nearby bushes on the other side and was lost to us. I clicked a few images in the intervening few second that the leopard was visible. Here is one such image from that series…..

Well after that we went back to the stalking Cheetah duo…… I have already written about that saga and shared few images few weeks back.
