"Ntsumi on the side of the road. We followed her as she led us to the remains of her kill. With only a few bones left, we watched her finish them off before quenching her thirst at a nearby waterhole. It was great to see her feed as she needs regular meals so that she can produce enough milk for her tiny cubs."

@Duco Ndona 

She was found lifeless with serious wounds to the thoracic region. I'm afraid it wasn't that peaceful... I hoped it was due to old age when I first heard about her death. After all 16 years is old for a leopard.

@Tonpa 

I too heard reports of a male leopard in the area. Probably ambushed.

Why would male leopard attack her in that way? I mean she doesnt have cubs currently to defend. 

Isnt a lion attack more likely?
