I’ve been going through a lot of old images that are stored on my system but have never seen the light of day, and came across these images which were taken over the last few months and show the growing up of a young leopard cub. She’s been wonderful to watch and I have many more memories than I have images to back them up.

Here she prowls down a track towards me in the gloaming light.

And another where she used a dead tree as a lookout for potential prey.

Earlier in the year, when there were still a lot of flies around, she would regularly sit on exposed branches to enjoy the cool breeze.

And most recently, I found her resting on an old broken bridge, in one of her favourite hunting gullies.
