It is lovely to remember seeing a leopard as a cub, and now see it again as a mature leopard. Great blog Amy.

Great blog Amy and beautiful images. The Piva male was a gorgeous little cub and has grown into a stunning adult Leopard. It makes me so happy to see these beautiful animals survive to adulthood and go on to thrive and allow us the privilege of being able to spend some time with them.

I had the pleasure of being in the company of Jos, Yvette & Rivka last year at Pioneer Camp. Not only were they lovely people, but their knowledge only enhanced my experience. And the expertise of Elmon was invaluable. Because of them, I am returning next year for my 75th birthday

Faascinating story and wonderful to see this young male now as a fully fledged adult. He looks like an amazing leopard.

Great blog Amy. I really enjoyed seeing the shot of Piva male as cub and then then the shot of an older Piva in a similar pose. I think it is important to keep track of who is related to who. Kudos to the Van Bommels for making the connection. Every leopard has a story.

Great story Ams! I was lucky enough to also see the Piva male when he was a little cub. It’s wonderful going back in time like Jos and Yvette have done!
