Then pass under the units (in the middle), come to Unit 1, use our car to hide from the rabbit...
and try and missed twice an easy prey

So all in all you saw at least 5 different leopards and had some truly wonderful encounters

aaaaaaaaaaarg Stunning anne-marie - you really were so lucky

Fantastic encounters anne-marie! As for your 'during the night at KK' encounter - WOW!!!

thank you for the resume... like that I can put names on the Leopards we saw

Very very nice Anne-Marie! I'm so happy you could see all these leopards! You were so lucky!

I'm thinking that the leopard that Moose and I saw over at Houmoed may have been rooiputs - #9, page 21 of the ID guide.

The facial spots seem to be a fairly good match, but it would be the first time she's been spotted off the nossob river...

@Miros - I believe you are correct with the ID! You and Moose had a really exciting sighting - brown hyena and all! This leopardess is the leopardess that has taken over Maja's old territory. First time somebody has seen her in the Auob! Many thanks for posting.

anne-marie what a wonderful experience you had in KK and awesome to have so many different Leopard sightings
Miro and Moose, another stunning Leopard sighting

We saw this Leopard here at Urikaruus, early morning on the 26th of November 2011.
Great light and a wonderful sighting!
Can someone of the Leopard experts help with the ID?!

Ho ! Katy... maybe the same we saw...
send a bigger picture of the side of the head to compare with mine, please

Hi guys

So we saw two leopards on our recent trip. The first one was at night at Urikaruus, Sorry for the terrible picture.


The second one was just past Kamfersboom. It was an adolescent female and there was a guy there who said it was 9 months old. Here she is:




And thats all

Great pictures everyone and thanks a lot for reporting the sightings.

Miros....lovely sighting of Roopiuts and well done IDing her from the guide . It's great to know that it is being used. My parents (think you met them on a walk on friday last week) saw her on the 1st at Houmoed too. So it looks like she has moved to the Aoub for the moment...for the first time as you point out. Would be great to know if she moves up the river much as that would be towards the Auchterlonie females territory....keep your eyes peeled

katydownunder.....again a lovely early morning sighting and with perfect light...lovely. So you saw Khomani, she has been around the Urikaruus area for a long time now and that WH is certainly right in the centre of her range.

Panekoek....could you send me full resolution version of the first pic. I have a feeling that it is Khomani but can't be sure.
The second leopard that you saw on the 19th Jan is Cagn, the now more grown up cub of the Auchterlonie female. I think she is more like a year old but it's very hard to be sure.

Hi AstroMatt and everybody,

A lot of beautiful leopard captures here.
I think Anne-Marie already posted most of the Leopard sightings we had ,but i was alone on a drive when i saw this one coming ,just between Batulama and Gemsbokplein.

Could somebody help me for identification,please?







Thanks,

Anne
