@Sky,
What a fabulous shot of the leopard. :clap:

Have you considered adding it to the Kgalagadi Leopard Identification thread http://www.sanparks.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=18567 and sending the info to AstroMatt?

I would love to know which leopard this is.

@Timbits... In answer to your question this leopard is Rooiputs. She's recently been seen with two youngish cubs.
Thanks for letting people know about the project, i really need as many reports as possible.

@Sky....i'd love to have the full story behind your sighting (and any other leopard sighting in the KTP) for my project. Please do check out the forum thread and my site in my signature below.

@AstroMatt: thanks for the id. BTW, your site is great :thumbs_up:

I hope Rooiputs and the cubs hang around until September when we are finally back. I will definitely have my copy of the Leopard Identification Guide with me.

Holding thumbs that Barry and Hilda can get some great sightings to add to your project. :clap:

Hi everybody! :hello:

I'm not the author of this trip report, but I just want to give you hope .... SO might just start writing today. All I can say is that we had a WONDERFUL time with two FANTASTIC 'mites who know the "ropes" in KTP and taught us a lot! :dance:

I want to thank them both from the bottom of my heart! :thanx:

Lion Queen and Picnic!
