Stunning image Grant. We were fortunate to view the Tambotie female and her cub last year. She has grown quite a lot.

Thanks Marinda. You are very lucky to have been able to witness them together. She is growing up fast as she nears that age of independence.

Tamboti was pregnant with this cub when we last saw her. So looking forward to seeing them both next Monday month!

Congratulations on the world-class image. How did you achieve the low angle shot?

Thanks Jeff. We were just very lucky with where the angle of the vehicle was position and where we the leopards would drinks.
