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.
This bit on WE actually mentions both the visit and the Mala Mala summary, mostly focuses on male and females territories of familiar leopard faces of Djuma and surroundings respectively their territories/movement:
Its reported that Scotia, famous from Rob the Rangers series on her youth from cubhood to independence, has died.
She apparently was sick for a while now.

Nice one! Very distinctive striped ears, bright eyes (and coat), 3.4 right? Potential to be big.
He's absolutely handsome bro!! Not sure what 3.4 means
The spots pattern above whiskers or rather number of spots. I just don't remember whether the animal's left side or the picture's left corresponds to the first number. He from the preview still pic fo the youtube link cleary has 4 spots on the top "line" of his left cheek. (This is used to distinguish individuals especially those without other obvious markers as those spots are fairly unique on each individual (usually 1-5 spots) and usually easy to spot. The size and pattern of those sports is another step, as you can ofc quite possibly have individuals with the same numbers of spots, but just by the number you can rule out who the particular leopard, that you are looking at, is not.)
