Leopard Cubs Fighting Over Meat Interupted By Elephant- Virtual Safari # 209

Now photographically, it doesn't get much better than this! The Ximungwe Female had caught another impala yearling and hoisted it into a marula tree. This time when we arrived the cubs were confident enough to climb into the tree and feed on the carcass. So we sat back and enjoyed hours of the cubs just going back and forth between their mother and the carcass, traipsing along the large horizontal boughs of this sizable marula tree, checking in with Mum before venturing back to the carcass.
A large elephant didn't want to miss out on some of the limelight and came right up to the vehicle while feeding, before looping around and walking directly underneath the Ximungwe Female in the tree. At this stage, the cubs had run down out of the tree and were hiding nearby. Once the coast was clear and the elephant had continued on its way, the cubs scaled the tree again and resumed feeding and playing.
So all in all this was truly a phenomenal sighting and one for the record books.

Once again. A great video. Wonderful to see the development of these cubs. Talking about cubs. Any more news on the Tsalala female? Any cubs there?

[@londolozigamereserve]

Thanks so much. No news yet.

[@user-qp9iy5ee1s]

Beautiful video and great work. We were with y'all in August and these videos bring back such great memories. Shad and Bennett were a great tracker and ranger pair - and they knew where to take us to see the best that Londolozi had to offer. Cheers!!

[@londolozigamereserve]

Glad you enjoyed it! And that it could remind you of your time here.
