This Leopard Mom’s Dating Life is a Danger to her Cubs

Two leopard cubs face the prospect of their mother getting ready to mate again. With over half of leopard cubs killed by adult males, her decision could place them in grave danger.

Truly incredible to see such behaviour of a mother leopard with a hard decision of maternal protection or furthering her bloodline.

[@AmazingNatureRelaxation]

🌺Leopards are so incredible and beautiful. It's almost easy to forget how fierce and deadly they can be. Great story telling. -H

I always found Indian Leopard to be the most beautiful leopard among subspecies.

The title immediately had me thinking of my ex. Humans imitate nature. But not as beautifully.

Lol we dont "imitate" nature we are part of nature.

The cubs look like the age where they can leave their mother and survive on their own in the wild.

[@mucadelemakine9115]

Half siblings and that male is likely there dad since the mother accepted to mate immediately meaning they have mated before several times and male leopards usual over lap huge portions of females territories so the conclusion is that he is there dad

[@dreamer8474]

[@whitexchina]

I wonder if leopards will ever learn that a coalition are easier, like the lions.

[@cinnow]

Lions are the only social cats. The rest are solitary. And that's part of the beauty and sheer power of tigers and leopards. They're loners.

[@jchen8902]

@@cinnow that's actually not true. male cheetahs do form coalitions unless there are no other males in the area, but females normally don't.

[@mucadelemakine9115]

Leopard evolved from lions basically they are solo lions

[@john-kl3ux]

I'm gonna hazard a guess that the male is also the father of those 2 cubs

[@mucadelemakine9115]

Most likely since the females are picky for mating partners unless they have been mating with them for a while probably 2 or 3 years and the cubs are literally in the males territory or atlest the portion that over laps with it

[@mucadelemakine9115]

A different Point of few: The large males the dad and there mothers old mating partner which is likely as she accepted him quickly without anyone hassle

Might be the father of those cubs as well.

They killed the Cubs so the mother mate earlier but since she was ready to mate I doubt the Cubs would be hurt
