Skorro Mapogo and Shinzele Male Leopard 
Posted by Greg Coates

Shinzele had an interesting week, starting off with a confrontation with Mashiyambanje. The river is definitely the boundary between these two males as Shinzele stayed on the southern bank and Mashiyambanje on the northern bank. There was not much aggression but it seemed both leopards were daring each other to cross the line and start a fight. This did not happen though and they seemed content to respect each other’s space and eventually moved in opposite directions. Shinzele’s other exciting moment was when he found himself rudely forced up a tree by members of the Ximungwe pride and Skoro Mapogo. He did have a kill and had managed to get it up a tree in time so all he had to do was sit it out. This he did and the lions eventually moved off in search of a meal of their own.
