WoW wanderw, that is mighty impressive!!! Bravo!

thank you for this recapitulative

We've seen this leopard close to Kieliekrankie Wilderness Camp on 21. February 2012 in late afternoon
(5 p.m.). Exif dates shows that the leopard was 32 meters away from cabin Nr.1.
But i think for identification it's aliitle bit far away!


Greetings from Germany

Thanks Wanderw for the recap its great to see who's seen each of the leopards.

@Jaffles, great sighting ....could i ask you to email me the original picture(s). I'm pretty sure that if its a known leopard i have a chance of IDing them from the front leg spots. If you could also send me the sighting using my spreadsheet then i can make sure i have all the info.

maybe "my" Leopard... this one I touched... nearly touched

@ anne-marie - could be! I think it is Amur.
AstroMatt, what do you think?

I think you have a good eye
From the original pic you can match most of the leg spots. I think the face also looks like Amur, the general spot shapes and just her look....they do all have a very distinct look.

@ AstroMatt - thanx for the confirmation! You are absolutely right - they all have a distinct look.

@ jaffles - Thank you so much for sharing your sighting with us!

We saw this lady near Leeudril on 3 May 2012.
Any chance of an ID?







Gavin

@GavinW - Thank you for posting! This is a new leopard for this thread, the same one posted on the 'Camera Trap' thread by KG( pic taken by Hannes Lochner - of the leopard behind the 'termite mound' camera trap.)
See the rest of this post below!

Now posting with Muhammad's permission: He saw the same leopard on the 4th of May near Leeudril.







With both Muhammad's and GavinW's pix I think we have a new page or 2 for the ID guide!

Would like to see if these could be ID'd please: Female Oct.9, 2011 at Montrose





Also saw a male attempting to mate with a female and will post them separately. Thanks so much.

@AFRICAT - Thanx for posting! This is Khomani She was first seen in Jan 2007 with a cub, so she is a quite 'mature' leopardess!
Looking forward to your next post!


Now posting on Pumbaa's behalf:

Introducing ...N!xau
- a new addition to this thread and recently added to AstroMatt's ID guide.

Seen by Pumbaa and Timon on the 16th of February 2009, between Kannaguass and Ljiersdraai.







I know that Pumbaa and Timon saw this leopard in 2009, but there is a good possibility that he/she is still out there!

(These were taken VERY far away, so ID may not be possible. I do thank whomever puts in the time to try and help me. Very much appreciated.)

These were taken Oct. 20, 2011 just outside (south) Grootkolk, but before the first waterhole. The female was just walking through the grass when a large male, hidden in the grasses, ran at her. She lept into the nearest tree, and a standoff ensued. As the sun got hotter and hotter he decided to go up after her, but she would have none of it. Seems their views on family planning didn't coincide, at least for that day.
