unbelievable.
Tu tones has grown a lot, Tyson is a beast, but there is not much size difference or not?

Wow! What a powerful sighting! It must have been amazing, intense and maybe even a little distressing all at the same time. It was remarkable to see a leopard kill a warthog sow, let alone the 2 males contesting it. Hope Tu Tones gets himself a good meal.

It’s great! Very rare moment.
Londolozi is the best place in the world for the leopards.

Fantastic write up Simon & amazing pictures Foster. Unfortunately nature is harsh, but not as bad as MAN!!! It is survival of the fittest & I hope Tu Tones got to grab himself a meal

Digital Ranger

Who is older Tu tones or Marthy male?!

Hi Tim, Tutones was born in 2008 and Marthly male in 2001, SO the Marthly male is almost twice his age.

Unreal! What a sighting, truly enjoyed both the images and the video, guys…

Amazing sighting and photography. I hope Tu Tones had better luck shortly afterwards. I suppose that young piglet could not survive on its own…sad.

Beautiful and powerful experience..
thank you so much for sharing!
