A Leopard and Her Cub

Summary The life of a leopard is a solitary one but for three days spent in a partnership of affectionate grooming followed at regular intervals by fierce copulation. The female retreats to her own territory for her 100 day term and then raises her cubs on her own leaving them to hide in various different refuges when she moves off to hunt. The danger lies in the inter-specific instinct of hyena and other bushveld predators to kill and thereby reduce all potential competition in overlapping territories. Every day a cub survives is testament to the feline mother's mastery of the bushveld and its harsh ways.
