REAL NICE LIMPING LEOPARD WALKS BY A CAMERA IN GABON

Description: English / Français / Espagnol
The male leopard does not live in pride as in lions with females, it is a solitary and territorial animal. It occupies a territory that overlaps a few smaller female territories. He carefully marks his domain with urine jets, scratches tree trunks, rubs his fur on the bushes and pushes his rivals out of it. To mate, he must call female in heat, living in or around his domain, with a "sawing call", a guttural sound • Leopard’s sawing call,...

Le léopard mâle ne vit pas dans une troupe comme chez les lions avec les femelles. C'est un animal solitaire qui occupe un territoire chevauchant quelques territoires plus petits occupés chacun par une femelles. Il marque soigneusement son domaine avec des jets d'urine, gratte les troncs d'arbres, frotte sa fourrure sur les buissons et repousse ses rivaux en dehors. Pour s'accoupler, il doit appeler femelle en chaleur, vivant dans ou autour de son domaine, avec un "appel de sciage", un son guttural • Leopard’s sawing call,...

El leopardo macho no vive en una tropa como los leones con las hembras. Es un animal solitario que ocupa un territorio que se extiende por unos pocos territorios más pequeños, cada uno de ellos ocupado por una hembra. Marca cuidadosamente su propiedad con chorros de orina, araña los troncos de los árboles, frota su pelaje contra los arbustos y empuja a sus rivales hacia afuera. Para aparearse, debe llamar a la hembra en celo, que vive en o alrededor de su finca, con un "llamado a serrar", un sonido de garganta • Leopard’s sawing call,...

What a wonderful view of this magnificent leopard. I feel sorry that he's limping. Thank you for your dedication to recording the natural world in Gabon for more to see.

[@Eleonora1960]

@Bonobo3D - I feel sorry as well for his limping... A solitary, magnificent creature. I hope he recovered (I tend to feel the pain of innocents on myself...)

[@tinkmarshino]

Poor ole boy.. looks like he has a knee problem.. I watch wild earth out in djuma and a bit farther north in the Massi mora.. They have a few of these big boys out there... amazing animals.. Sometime I feel sorry for these animals.. nature can be so hard.. Even though they do not give much thought to it themselves.. Thanks Xavier for a glimpse into the life of these solitary animals..

[@XHB06400CANNES]

Thank you tinkmarshino These are resistant animals. At the end of my next picking up of the SD cards on my trap cameras, I will control particularly the leopard males with 2 black spots placed vertically on the left front hoping that they will not limp any more and thus that they will have recovered their capacities to defend their domain and hunt for food.

[@tinkmarshino]

@@XHB06400CANNES Yes they are resilient animals.. so much so that I have seen some of these beauties come back from some horrendous injuries to be perfectly fine.. But they do run the chance of having another big male converging on there territory while they are in a bad state.. God made some fantastic animals I think.. thanks again for all you do to share your amazing finds..

Very robust male leopard with big skull. Looks more like a kind of jaguar rather than a leopard

[@user-cs3hi8zp7p]

That's what I was thinking... More like a Jaguar than Leopard, but I'm an American that only knows North American species thoroughly👍

[@BJ-wn7yy]

​@@user-cs3hi8zp7p Exactly, big head for its size and robust forelimbs. What a difference compared to our leopards in Kruger I must say!!

[@parisulki729]

Such a majestic creature

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

Is the leopard limping? He looks like his hind leg is hurt.

[@Aaron1Ayala]

Definitely a limp :( I hope the poor baby's okay

[@XHB06400CANNES]

Hi Jimmy, I have compared the pattern on the coat of this male caught on October 20, 2019 with that of a male limping on the same hind leg filmed on December 12, 2019 (50 days later kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIutZZ9teKahh7M ). As I have difficulty to distinguish the rosettes, I am not at all sure that it will be the same feline.

When were you in Gabon? My partner has been working over there, on-and-off, for a few years. He’s a wildlife conservationist, specialising in Gorillas. Wondering if you know him?

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁: My wife and I are neither scientists nor veterinarians nor primatologists nor photographers. We wanted to thank Gabon, which has welcomed our family for more than 35 years (in the retail sector), to show on KZbin the diversity of the fauna of this beautiful country and to make Internet users want to visit it. Our first videos posted on our KZbin channel essentially showed wildlife "passing" in front of the lenses of our trap cameras equipped with motion detectors: The passage of an elephant in front of the objective of a trap for about twenty seconds is not particularly interesting. On the other hand, a video of young elephants playing in a river while adults are quenching their thirst is much more enjoyable to watch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aompmIWhiMaYitU Elephant calves have fun during a creek crossing (Gabon jungle). To find such "spots" it is advisable to get further away from the path used by the few 4x4 vehicles of Nyonié, to go deeper into the forest and to walk in the beds of creeks and small rivers. This is not safe, especially when you are old. To progress more easily in the forest, animals use this off-road trail, without vines, bushes, brambles and trees mixed on the ground because of the very numerous tornadoes in this region on the Equator line. We came up with the idea of placing very large mirrors at the end of a long straight line of an off-road track to catch their eyes and "block" them in front of their image. We have also placed other mirrors under trees where numerous animals appreciate the fruits. At other locations in the middle of the forest it would have been very lucky for animals to meet their reflection. Our use of mirrors has been of great interest to primatologists, including members of the PSG, not the Paris Saint Germain football club, but the Primate Specialists Group, who have only been able to study self-recognition in a mirror in great apes in laboratories with captive animals or animals born in captivity, used to contact with humans. These animals did not have to search for food, defend their families against other congeners and predators, sometimes imitating humans, and therefore had very different distorted behaviours from primates living in complete freedom with their group or family in a remote area of Gabon's forest. Our cameras have highlighted a very particular behaviour among chimpanzees in the Nyonié region and resulted in a scientific publication, "Reflections in rainforest mirrors facilitate behavioral observations of wild chimpanzees Primates n°58 2017-01". On our two following videos this behavior is filmed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqWweJaCp7ZkaKc (Rump-Rump Rubbing in Chimpanzees = anti-stress effect? A social behavior ever observed previously) and kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqfPmoekf5yCotE (scared chimps reassure themselves with pseudo-copulation and rump-to-rump contacts front of mirror). This is how, incidentally in wild animals, we discovered and became interested in their self-recognition in our large mirrors. Keep watching my homemade videos (160 pieces) that I put online on my channel and read the description attached to each one of them. You will know very interesting explanations about animals reactions front of my mirrors in the jungle and share its link with your friends: kzbin.infovideos

Hello Xavier Hubert Je ne sais pas comment vous contacter par mail ou message donc j'écrit ici Que pensez vous de l'idée de mettre une télévision géante LED de 75 pouces dans la jungle pour voir la réaction des animaux en plus du miroir ? Elles consomment peu et ne sont pas très chères (1000$). J'imagine qu'il faudra faire quelques modifications pour l'étanchéité/protection et des grosses batteries/générateur mais ça à l'air faisable. Les résultats pourraient être... Intéressant. Pas pour regarder Ruquier ou Hanouna bien sur ! Cordialement de Franceland, j'adore vos vidéos 🙃 Hello Xavier Hubert I do not know how to contact you by email or message so I'm writing here. What do you think of the idea of ​​putting a giant 75 inch TV LED in the jungle to see the reaction of the animals in addition to the mirror? They consume little power and are not very expensive ($ 1000). I imagine that it will be necessary to make some modifications for etancheity/ protection and large batteries / generator but that looks feasible. The results could be ... Interesting. Not to watch Ruquier or Hanouna of course! Regards from Franceland, I love your videos Si vous trouvez l'idée idiote n'hésitez pas à le dire !

Merci pour votre suggestion de placer un écran de télévision géant. Dans la région de mes miroirs, Il pleut quotidiennement (des tornades) toujours de 9 à 10 mois par an avec un taux d'humidité de 95%. La source électrique la plus proche pour l'alimenter se trouve à 35 km. La luminosité n'est pas suffisante pour alimenter un tel consommateur de courant via le soleil ou avec des batteries. Et de plus comment protéger l'écran contre des chocs, même si ils sont involontaires sans créer un piège à humidité ?
